BECOMING. IMAGES IN TRANSFORMATION

Phillip Toledano, Another England

Book Signing: Thursday, March 19 at 3:00 PM, STAND E009

The book Another England, published by L’Artiere Editore, Bologna, explores an England defined not by what it “is,” but by everything it could become if reality experienced a slight tremor. The project moves between local news, country folktales, and lucid delirium: the photographs appear as memories of a collectively dreamed country, while the texts read like articles from a parallel archive where the absurd is reported with administrative meticulousness. Buildings themselves become characters: cathedrals transformed into water parks, Stonehenge as a traffic roundabout, and animal-shaped houses that observe visitors. Humans appear rarely and always surreally: women fused with their dogs or inhabitants with flower heads. It is a geography of the absurd — tender, funny, and ironic — that invites the viewer to reflect on how imagination can become a critical tool of reality.

NAPOLIAN ISSUE BY KEILA GUILARTE

TALLULAH ROOM PROJECT – STAND E008

Tallulah Room – Napolian Issue takes shape as a space of presence and concentration, a symbolic room in which photography becomes a tool of identity affirmation—an essential visual gesture charged with meaning—entrusted to a single artist, Keila Guilarte.
Napolian Issue is a photographic series that interprets feminine identity as a form of radical, conscious, and unwavering presence. Through a rigorous aesthetic language—neutral backgrounds, essential lighting, and direct frontal gaze—Keila Guilarte constructs images in which the female body asserts itself as an archive of memory, strength, and belonging.

Nell’attesa sorriderò di nascosto

Donatella Izzo

Donatella Izzo narrates an intimate metamorphosis where a young girl in a domestic space is enveloped by floral patterns that progressively dissolve. This dissolution serves as a metaphor for transitory beauty and the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Metamorphic Dreams

Rohn Meijer
This project approaches metamorphosis through direct intervention on the photographic material. Chemical processes corrode negatives and slides, creating chromatic fractures that transform originally perfect fashion images into a new life through controlled destruction.

Wadadli Feminine

Angela Lo Priore

Angela Lo Priore explores the reconnection between the female body and nature in Antigua. The project is a visual ritual where the woman becomes the landscape and femininity is manifested as a living force liberated from social conventions.

Mistresspieces

Dina Goldstein

Dina Goldstein reinterprets ten icons of art history through contemporary social criticism. Using a pop-surrealist style, she challenges the “male gaze” to address urgent themes like the environmental crisis, AI, and refugee displacement.
