Hello to everybody, I'm Francesco Amorosino, I'm a photographer and a visual artist.
I'd like to introduce you to my works that I recently decided to divide in four different collections.
Each collection takes together many works that are associated for some topics in common, or some messages that I want to transmit or some feeling that they have in common.
So let's start with the first collection, which is “Photo-sculptures”. What is a photo sculpture?
It's a way to take together two different forms of art: sculpture and photography.
I work in two different ways. One way is to photograph some objects with a special light, with a special setting in a way they feel like sculpture. Sometimes I even shape them in a special form, like a sculpture, then I take a photo and then I dismantle it.
You can find, for instance, the work Migrant Tomatoes in this category, which is the work which won the 2016 Sony World Photography Award in Still Life category. It's a work that I made with tomatoes, but these don't look like tomatoes. Some people say, oh, this is a stone, or this is marble.
The tomatoes are dirty with soil and on the surface of the tomatoes, you can find some fingerprints which are the one from the people who harvested them. So in this way, I talk about workers that are like an invisible presence in our life. We don't know who harvested these tomatoes.
The second kind of works that you can find in this collection are a series of works where I print directly on some objects, usually using liquid silver salts emulsion, which I use in the darkroom. I put it on these objects to make them photosensitive.
One kind of project of this type is “In Media Res”. It is a work, where I speak about the human body compared to sculptures. And I also speak about the past, from ancient Roman statues to our body, where you can find some scars or some signs of the passing of time. So sometimes you don't know which which is a statue, which is a human body. I printed them on marble, on different kind of marbles, like travertine, which is a very popular in Rome and in Italy in general.
So go on my website and take a look to all these works, and please tell me which one is your favorite. If you want, you can buy some prints or you can buy some original work because the photo-sculptures
are all unique pieces. I only produce one.
So if you're interested in them just write to me and I'll let you know all the prices and all the availabilities.
Thank you really much and see you soon for next collection.
