Anatomy of darkness is about body and traces that bodies leaves behind. more than physical that traces are more often made by imagination, perception and memories. They collide in a dark space, that is not reality, is an elsewhere space, a nowhere space. a space that is hard to understand, know, and penetrate. anatomy of darkness is an attemp to recreate that space and bring the spectator inside. a way to know more about it and about yourself. On the technical side the work is made projecting on a smoke curtain in a completely dark space, then shooting a close cut of the illuminated smoke to capture the shattered image. performer: valentina giolophotography: damiano andreottidirector: aaron inkeraaron inker (real name: Nicholas Ferrara) was born in a small town near Biella in 1984, after polytechnic study he shows art interests.
