Anna di Prospero's Photographic Journey Through Carlo Bononi's Paintings at MLB Home Gallery
Anna di Prospero (Rome, 1987) presents a photographic series at MLB Home Gallery in Ferrara, coinciding with Palazzo Diamanti's exhibition on 17th-century painter Carlo Bononi. The series, consisting of eight shots, narrates a sentimental love story inspired by Bononi's works. Di Prospero offers a free and empathetic interpretation, stripping away pictorial references and focusing on rarefied light effects and carnal seduction through a study of color. A dominant antique pink hue, intertwined with natural elements like fire and water, pervades the exhibition. The emotional connection is palpable, with pieces like 'Il ricordo' (inspired by Bononi's Pietà) evoking pain, and 'Il miracolo' conveying lightness. Bononi, described as 'the painter of liquefied heart colors,' enables di Prospero to express strength, fluidity, and sentiment in a single image.
