CONTRASTO

The contrast is a characteristic composition of medieval literature, in which a dispute was carried out between allegorical figures and personifications of abstract concepts (for example: an angel and the devil, the soul and the body, winter and summer, the rose and the violet, and so on). Taking a cue from this, I created the series of images by inserting different dialogues within them, a series of antagonistic relationships that intertwine in search of a harmony that only the balance of opposites can generate. Work plan: Technical contrast: use of 3D software to create traditional photographic images, a virtual world that appears as real. Visual contrast: use of black and white, to symbolize the shadows and lights of our existence. Cube/Characters Contrast: the characters try to move, gesture and shake but are stuck in the parallelepipeds to indicate that we are never completely free even if we think so. Contrast the characters: Man/Woman; Young/Alder; Black/White; Beautiful/Brutty; Thin/Fat; Life/Death. Note that the last image, "life drive" and "death drive" aka Eros and Thanatos (Life/Death), the skeleton is the only "character" not stuck in the cubes, signifying that only death will free us from the constraints of life.
