Michele Stanzione's 'Anime' at Maschio Angioino, Naples

Over 70 black-and-white photographs by Michele Stanzione are on view at the Antisale dei Baroni of the Maschio Angioino in Naples. The exhibition, titled 'Anime,' is curated by Massimo Scaringella and presents a survey of the artist's decade-long career. Stanzione's work explores the fusion of human and nature, often centering on the female figure as a personification of nature. The display is organized by thematic resonance rather than chronology. Stanzione, born in Naples in 1983, approaches photography without a fixed plan, allowing intuition and the moment to guide him. Scaringella notes that Stanzione uses the camera like a brush to capture emotions and physical sensations, seeking 'the soul of the world' in each shot. The artist's practice is both aesthetic and ethical, with an anthropological character that investigates traditions and places. 'Anime' is organized by Associazione Millevolti in collaboration with BlackArt, with artistic direction by Milot, an Italian-Albanian artist with whom Stanzione has long collaborated.
