Positive – Negative
Questions of depth.
The introduction of elements in the foreground that rise out of the frame produces depth and a photographic effect.

The ballad of Sexual Dependency
Drawings on Sketchbook
Pen and Ink
2015
On the occasion of the release of Nan Goldin’s film All the beauty and the bloodshed, I offer these drawings made during the screening at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2015, with music by the Tiger Lillies.
“
The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, made between 1979 and 1986, is one of Nan Goldin’s earliest photographic series, but remains today, and rightly so, the best known of all her works. The slide show projected on a large screen is accompanied by the Tiger Lillies. A London musical trio, they are dark, provocative and blasphemous, grimacing with their Brechtian inspiration which fits perfectly with the images. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a masterpiece, an authentic chronicle of modern times.

For a new Venetian Renaissance, (European, world, universal…). September 2021. I went to the Cini Foundation in Venice as a delegate of the Poveglia per Tutti association. September 2022. At the Giudecca – Sacca Fisola Arts Festival exhibition, a friend told me: ‘You are the only person I know capable of drawing a person smiling behind a mask’.

Philippe de Scola – les formes du visible
« Les Formes du visible ».
Conférence au Jeu de Paume, Paris, tenue par Philippe Descola, anthropologue, animée par Teresa Castro, en présence de Marine Hugonnier
« La figuration n’est pas tout entière livrée à la fantaisie expressive de ceux qui font des images. On ne figure que ce que l’on perçoit ou imagine, et l’on n’imagine et ne perçoit que ce que l’habitude nous a enseigné à discerner. Le chemin visuel que nous traçons spontanément dans les plis du monde dépend de notre appartenance à l’une des quatre régions de l’archipel ontologique : animisme, naturalisme, totémisme ou analogisme. (…) une anthropologie de la figuration.

The theme, Rialto, the beating heart of the Venice’s history and social and economic dynamics. Today, the Rialto district is suffering from a deep crisis, suffocated by tourism and the lack of a vision for its future. We can help Rialto and the whole of Venice by following the initiatives of its associations such as Progetto Rialto.
