Piece description from the artist
This photo is part of the series “Modern Times."
This is a series of photographs that explores the possibility of going back in time, precisely to the neoclassical age where the portraits' characters interact with objects of our modernity.
“I’m fascinated by the idea of putting together elements that disagree. From what contrasts comes the fairest harmony. The sense of things is released thanks to diversity. Combining different historical periods by pairing elements from a particular age apparently disturbs the usual expectations of the observer, making one stop for a second look, resolving soon after, in an aesthetically harmonious vision."
Erika Zolli is a self-taught photographer specialized in Fine Art. Currently she lives and works in Milan. She holds workshops of creative photography in Italy and in Spain.
In her photos new worlds and new realities are created, in order to show and explore the invisible dreamlike dimension that lies in the human mind. Her work is a combination of surrealism and lightness: the subjects directly interacts with the surroundings.
Her works have been mentioned in several magazines and newspapers including: Fotografia Reflex, Il Fotografo, L’Espresso, L’OEil de la photographie, La Repubblica, ANSA.it, Creathead (VICE), Art Parasites, Click Blog, Bored Panda, Fubiz, Creative Boom etc..She won the first prize of the 'My City' competition organized by the European Environment Agency and the T2gE Conference award during the Transition to the Green Economy (T2gE) conference held in Bratislava.
