Quiet Ensamble :: Artificial Sun

 

The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures. The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn. A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.

Alessandra Sanguinetti :: Guille and Belinda

 

Alessandra Sanguinetti returns to rural Argentina to continue her intimate collaboration with Belinda and Guillermina, two cousins who, as girls, were the subjects of the first book in her ongoing series, The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams.  In this second volume, The Illusion of An Everlasting Summer, we follow Guillermina and Belinda from ages 14 to 24 as they negotiate the fluid territory between adolescence and young adulthood. Still surrounded by the animals and rural settings of their childhood, Everlasting Summer depicts the two cousins’ everyday lives as they experience young love, pregnancy, and motherhood - all of which, perhaps inevitably, results in an ever-increasing independence from their families and each other. Similarly, we can sense a shift in Sanguinetti's relationship to the cousins and the work they make: from insular childhood collaborators to three women with lives branching in different directions. Though the passage of time is one of the most palpable tensions at work in these photographs, An Everlasting Summer deepens Sanguinetti's exploration of the timeless, universal language of female intimacy and friendship.   MACK will be publishing an ongoing series of formally similar volumes from the body of work The Adventures of Guille and Belinda, commencing with a reprint of the first book The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams in early 2021.

Pietro Lo Casto :: Tangia Basti, Nepalese village under threat

Pietro Lo Casto documents a remote Nepalese village under threat. Tangia Basti is home to around 7000 people, composed of different castes and ethnicities, including Tamangs, Magars, Dalits, Chettris and Brahmins, while Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity are the prevalent religions. Commonality is found through tradition and the village’s resident Ban Jhankri shaman. With help from the forest itself, the local shaman is the villagers’ first call for ailments, such as allergies, insomnia and even possession. Villagers, whose spiritual connection to the ecosystem is fundamental to their being, provide offerings to trees to deter evil spirits.
