Elena Givone: The Value of Practical Dreaming

How can a photographic artist address suffering? What effect does the photojournalist have who photographs suffering and shows it to those who live luckier lives? Do those images stimulate change or simply become a kind of spectacle against which we measure our own good fortune?

For the Italian photographer Elena Givone, it is not pity she wishes to evoke, but hope. Hope for those who suffer and for those who could help, if only they were motivated to do so. Hope that is found in using that highest of human abilities – imagination – to see beyond the current circumstance to the possibility of something better. To dream the dreams of potential; to believe that things can change.

Elena Givone speaks to Talking Pictures about her work in Bosnia, Brazil, Mali, and a Greek camp for Syrian refugees.

Ciro Battiloro: An Unexpected Beauty

The Italian photographer Ciro Battiloro photographs those who, through economic necessity or ancient tradition, find their homes in the poorest parts of the city or roaming the land simply in order to remain viable. But his images look beneath the surface of domestic discomfort and social neglect to the resilient spirit of the people themselves. Bound together in their hardship, he finds in these relationships an unexpected beauty. While the communities in his photographs are from different cultures, living in various countries and with diverse heritages, he finds in each a tenacious humanity.

Ciro Battiloro introduces his photographs and the people whose lives they reflect at Talking Pictures.

Angelo Musco: Corporeal Worlds by AlasdairFoster

Angelo Musco: Corporeal Worlds

Nothing quite prepares you for the scale and elaboration of Angelo Musco’s creations. The images themselves are vast. And while the subjects are often quite simple – a flower, a feather, the undulations of a rock face, the swirl of water – their construction is not. For each image is assembled from thousands of naked human bodies arching and twisting, reaching and embracing, across a panoramic field of view.

In this interview we discuss a selection of projects that map the development of the artist’s ideas across a seventeen-year arc. An arc that describes a journey from natural history through myth and legend to the personal history of the artist himself. To significant others and to the scars that write on the body and on the psyche the unique story of a life. A story, nonetheless, conveyed through the bodily expression of the many. The individual reflected in the collective through an act of connection that affirms we are never alone.

Meet Angelo Musco and his remarkable work at Talking Pictures.
