Title: HIDDEN GEOMETRIES

Subtitle: AN INTIMATE TALE OF A FEMALE BODY

Blurb/Shorttext:

The photography of the Italian artist Alessia Cortese is an aesthetic research and an introspective investigation, an exploration of the female body, of her body. "Hidden Geometries" is a collection of self-portraits with a delicate intimate poetics. Alessia uses her body to affirm its material consistency, underlining its details and geometries, and at the same time to establish a dialogue with herself, to give a word to the inexpressible that lurks inside. The body is like a nutshell, shelter or cage that holds emotion, desire, anger, fear, confusion. The self-portrait itself is the instrument by which the artist can open that shell and express his her feelings, the way to define herself and express other identities. The photography is the imaginative bridge between one's soul and the outside world.
