ETHEREAL AND VAGUE FIGURES

Photography has its magic to obscure one reality and fabricate another. It can give the artist full control to manipulate the senses, and such is the work of Antonio Palmerini, an exceptionally talented Italian photographer and painter. His work mainly features dark haired female figures, applying slow shutter speed, double exposure, long exposures and high contrast development. His shots picture images of ethereal figures, half-formed and vague as if captured in a window reflection or an old mirror. The result is portraits of ghostly figures, silent but tense, against textured, blurred, unsettling backgrounds.
