A limited edition Giclee print on Baryta paper 315 gr. from the "Paparazzi" series. “These images have a deceptive character which contradicts the sensationalism they would like to convey” (Mazaccio & Drowilal). The starting point of the series “Paparazzi” was a collection of celebrities’ pictures from their everyday activities such as shopping and jogging, and golfing, but all shot by the paparazzi. After collecting them from magazines and the internet, the duo gathered the images in the same picture allowing them “for the sensational side to be neutralized, so there was a shift from the «scoop» of catching a celebrity, to an anonymous crowd.”(Mazaccio & Drowilal). Working principally with photography and collage, Mazaccio & Drowilal deconstruct multiple facets of contemporary visual culture through their process of gathering and arranging mass-media images. Their visual practice and aesthetic approach are heavily influenced by the Internet’s new iconographies and digital culture. Mazaccio & Drowilal have explored a wide breadth of subjects pertaining to celebrity, branding, artificiality, and identity.

Stampa Giclée in edizione limitata su carta baritata 315 gr. della serie "Paparazzi". "Queste immagini hanno un carattere ingannevole che contraddice il sensazionalismo che vorrebbero trasmettere" (Mazaccio & Drowilal). Il punto di partenza della serie "Paparazzi" è stata una raccolta di immagini di celebrità tratte dalle loro attività quotidiane, come lo shopping, il jogging e il golf, ma tutte scattate dai paparazzi. Dopo averle raccolte da riviste e da internet, il duo ha riunito le immagini in una stessa foto che ha permesso di "neutralizzare l'aspetto sensazionale, passando così dallo "scoop" della cattura di una celebrità a una folla anonima" (Mazaccio & Drowilal). Lavorando principalmente con la fotografia e il collage, Mazaccio & Drowilal decostruiscono molteplici sfaccettature della cultura visiva contemporanea attraverso il loro processo di raccolta e sistemazione delle immagini dei mass media. La loro pratica visiva e il loro approccio estetico sono fortemente influenzati dalle nuove iconografie di Internet e dalla cultura digitale. Mazaccio & Drowilal hanno esplorato un'ampia gamma di argomenti riguardanti la celebrità, il branding, l'artificialità e l'identità.
