Finding Vivian Maier (2013)

[Alla Ricerca di Vivian Maier: recensione in italiano qui]

Presented at the Toronto Film Festival and the Berlinale, the documentary about Vivian Maier reveals an extraordinary investigation into the life of the most mysterious photographer of the 900, austere nanny, a secret artist whose treasure was discovered by chance only a few days after her death. Dead in poverty, she is now one of the most loved and important street photographers of the last century, with exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles, photo books and an archive of thousands of images. Behind his babysitter figure is a fascinating mystery: why has this woman always hidden her talent and her work?

June 2018

“Manichini” by Daniele Pace

english version below
[ITA] Manichini come specchio della società? Secondo Daniele Pace, fotografo romano, il rapporto tra i personaggi delle vetrine e gli individui che popolano la società contemporanea è correlato, all’insegna della dicotomia tra l’apparenza e il valore reale dell’individuo: “Il progetto Manichini nasce circa un anno fa quando, trovandomi davanti a una vetrina di Roma, ho fotografato questi oggetti inanimati, ma esteticamente perfetti. Associai subito questo stato alla società di oggi che vive molto delle apparenze, a volte fregandosene del vero valore di noi stessi”.
