Giacomo Brunelli
Untitled #2 (Woman's Heels), 2018 - Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print

2018

About the Item

Untitled #2 (Woman's Heels) from the series New York by Giacomo Brunelli is a Silver Gelatin print in a limited edition of 10. Brunelli shoots uniquely on black and white film with a 1960's Miranda Sensomat 35mm. Brunelli's New York belongs to a rich and established photographic tradition of capturing the "City of Dreams" which include Robert Frank's iconic depictions, Paul Strand's atmospheric representations, and Louis Faure's glossy portrayals. New York is a city whose inhabitants see a wealth of skyscrapers peeling out of the concrete and almost touching the clouds, but whose sky is almost always hidden; the density of construction in such confined spaces meant Brunelli found ways to re-frame the image and create dazzling compositions born of restriction but which still speak of the inherent drama present. The process of shooting on film, especially changing the film after the 36th shot, he says, causes you to slow down and breathe in fresh thoughts. The same thing happens in the darkroom, too, where you open yourself up to the unexpected during this unique printing process. His camera lens, at the closest point of focus, captures his subjects - women's legs, men's hats, pigeons - at unusual, unpredictable angles. Unseen by the city and its inhabitants, he elevates them to the status of actors in a still motion picture.
