About the Item

Luca Artioli has always been fascinated by Roman Statues. As a child, he wandered through the Imperial Forum creating dialogues between them. For young Luca the statues were alive. The marble was not cold or lifeless, but warm and vibrating with life and energy. As an adult and professional photographer, Artioli returned to his old friends, and reinterpreted his childhood fantasies, recording his interpretations of those timeless conversations between marble and men. These photo collection convey magic, mystery and a conversation that has transpired for centuries, and will continue in its’ infinite cycle, Artioli avoids the use of photoshop, favoring use of ICM (Intentional Camera Movement). He employs this manual technique to capture a unique photographic result which conveys a sense of motion, of transition, and allows them to be seen in a softer illumination than the statues themselves. He perceives not only the dialogue between the statues themselves, but with the viewer who brings to the conversation their own individual narrative, thus expanding this eternal dialogue. Magic lies within these ethereal images, breathing new light into the ancient statues. Artioli is a multi-talented artist who has shown around the world. His books, photography and singular vision encapsulate the established history of classic Italian Art, and move it forward with a fresh, modern take of art, love, passion, and culture, all of which are quintessentially Italian, while remaining true to his own personal artistic journey. "There was a moment in my life, I still remember it intensely today. It was a fragrant spring day and I was walking on the ruins of the Roman forum. Suddenly my gaze was captured by a marble statue. Maybe I was tired, maybe the Roman "grande bellezza “had blurred and saturated my view, but it seemed to me that the statue was watching me. I stopped. Her face seemed hazy but alive. I do not remember now her name but she gently introduced herself. And then all the others. The cold marble with which they had been made 2000 years before had melted like ice in the sun. The algid marble skin had suddenly become warm and soft. I saw, as in a foggy dream, their bodies moving and merging. The statues spoke to each other, they were serene in their narration. I took my camera and started photographing them". From Touching the skin of the past series Edition of 5 + 1AP Unframed

Edition of 5, plus 2 AP; Edn. no. 1/5 print only Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Brigitte studied at Zurich University and received her MA in Social and Photo History in 1996. In the following years she established herself as an fine art photographer. She moved to New York and received her MFA in Fine Art Photography and Related Media at Parsons The New School of Design in 2007. The main issues in her works lie in her interest in the study of the gaze, the interplay between absence and presence in a photographic image, and the fact that the reading of a photograph is most often triggered by a collective memory. She explores the media itself and its close connection to themes like decay, memory, death and transitoriness. Brigitte Lustenberger has shown nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. She had Solo Shows at the Museée de l’Elysée in Lausanne/Switzerland, at Walter Keller’s Scalo Gallery in Zurich and New York, at Le Maillon...
