Sindoni. An interrupted frequency.

This photographic project is a kind of love letter to the human body and at the same time the trial to bring it to a more abstract and divine existence level. Is not just one of the many representations of the human body but is a fractured and dismantled way to watch it and see how the outward appearance comes out after the soul of its owner. The muscles, the signs, every scar tell the story of this body..but what do we know watching it? What kind of philosophical speculation can we do? And where are we going to find a special connection with this “others” body?. It´s something we can live and experienced when we dance, when we have sex with someone.. the body is fractured in many pieces, coming together, giving us a final image of all we had experienced.. something we can´t really tell or describe. It is a series of Cyanotype prints of photos of different people, different bodies or parts of it, which I do assembly as to purpose another view of it. Proportions stays the same but something looks different, embracing our ability as humans to interpretate what we see and reconnect it to something we know, even it doesn’t´t look exactly like the real one, creating a moment of misunderstanding between what we see and what we perceive. This aesthetic moment of visual “interrupted frequency” helps to create a sublimation of the humanity of these bodies, an expression of holiness, a spiritual value to them. The name I gave to this Project is “Sindoni”, from the sacred Shroud of Turin (in Italian “Sindone”) for its being a trace of a body, a faraway reproduction of a person. What I´m trying to express with my cyanotypes is the same achievement of holiness and acceptance for the everyones body: any body should be holy to itself.
