Ragazza e Sfondo Lucano (2020)
In Greek mythology, various female characters were punished by superior deities and transformed into features of nature: a spring (Aura), rocks (Niobe, Erse), plants or reeds (Daphne, Syrinx) and so on.
In this series, the spatial relationship between the subject and the landscape is questioned, changing the identities of both, overlapping, experimenting. As these Greek myths, the female subject finds herself in the process of metamorphosis between human and earth, animal and element, subject and background.
Great protagonists of ancient myths, although sometimes forgotten, the stories of these women are interwoven with our moral conscience. Raped, stalked, punished or suicidal, all these myths speak of the archetype of metamorphosis deeply present in mediterranean folklore.
