“Emma Vitti – Giulia Frump – Marta Grimoldi – Raffaele Sperandeo”

Stories that each tell of the experiences that shaped them, but with which the authors want to take us into their worlds, each different, but all united by the desire to become better day by day.

EMMA VITTI

Materica

[...] the observer establishes an intimate conversation with the picture-world, but it is the author who guides his gaze upwards and downwards and invites his body to move away from or closer to the supports in order to grasp those details that will set his imaginative capacity in motion *.

* freely adapted from “Body, Human” by Vittorio Lingiardi

In the series Materica, the viewer's gaze is almost overwhelmed by the material-body in the fullness of its power and sensuality, but also of its impending decay: this contrast releases an almost telluric energy that dilates the objective boundaries of the work, which could perhaps expand infinitely.

Second life

In Second life, the Heros seems to be extinguished in the monotonous repetition of the backgrounds: yet it is precisely in those small rectangles of wet, stained and trampled asphalt that the tiny scraps come to life and become the protagonists of different narratives: their second life is given to them by our gaze, flattened on the bottom but far from inert.

The big, the small, the near, the far seem to oppose each other. In reality, they dialogue by releasing their mysterious energy.

GIULIA FRUMP

Ecoesistenze

In Giulia Frump's photos, the natural element becomes an integral part of the creative process, in fact, on the analogue shot printed at first, the different components are placed, allowing them to enter into connection with the subject that hosts them, creating a play of shadows and three-dimensionality that makes us perceive this connection, making it tangible and real. Here, the eternal war of prevarication between human and natural finds peace and coexistence in a photographic galaxy, in which the two subjects coexist supporting each other

MARTA GRIMOLDI

Ground glass

Endometriosis cysts in diagnoses are also called “Ground Glass” cysts because of how they appear externally.

Ever since the artist discovered she suffered from endometriosis, she felt her body wither like an autumn flower and felt the need to photograph herself for the first time.

Ever since the artist discovered she suffered from endometriosis, she felt her body wither like an autumn flower and felt the need to photograph herself for the first time.

Passing through frosted glass, the light brings the two subjects together and what is created is a dialogue that tells, in images, a pathology that is often underestimated because it is not visible.

RAFFAELE SPERANDEO

Resonance: an emotional journey

“Resonance, EMDR: an emotional journey” is an intimate and symbolic photographic project that explores the process of inner healing through EMDR therapy.
Developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1980s, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation of the brain — through eye movements, sounds, or gentle taps — to help reprocess traumatic memories and lessen their emotional impact.
The title Resonance reflects the core of this experience: trauma as a vibration that lingers, an echo resonating through both body and mind. The images — fragmented faces, suspended flowers, moving hands, and abstract forms — portray the delicate tension between pain and recovery, between memory and transformation.
The use of black and white tones and double exposures visually captures the inner suspension that often characterizes the therapeutic journey: a non-linear space, yet one open to the emergence of new equilibrium..
