Marta Blue's Disturbing Photography on Artribune Magazine Cover

Marta Blue, a photographer and creative director whose work has graced international magazines including the New York Times, is featured on the cover of Artribune Magazine issue 80. Her solo exhibition 'Summer of Fear' is currently on view at FIUTO Art Space in Ripatransone, Italy, curated by Alex Urso, running until October 6. In an interview, Blue discusses her exploration of transgenerational trauma through regressive hypnosis, the role of the uncanny in her work as a premonition of hidden truths, and her creative process that involves isolating herself to maintain focus. She cites her cover story for the New York Times on menopause as a career milestone. Blue addresses the revival of gothic aesthetics, attributing it to a sense of nostalgia and search for authenticity among younger generations. Her work often features unsettling imagery such as roses piercing stomachs and keys embedded in chests, aiming to provoke strong emotional reactions. She believes art retains the power to scandalize through its individuality, even in a world saturated with real horror.
