Fotógrafo les saca provecho a las caídas y las convierte en arte

Sandro Giordano, de Roma (Italia), escenifica estos 'deslices' para denunciar la sociedad de consumo en la que se vive actualmente.

En entrevista con El País de España, el fotógrafo contó que la idea surgió por “una mala caída” que tuvo en bicicleta. Durante todo el trayecto sujetó un objeto (no reveló cuál) y en ningún momento se despegó de él. Agregó que “lo mismo le pasó a un amigo unas semanas después: se rompió una pierna para no dejar caer el teléfono entre las rocas del mar“.

Giordano indicó al diario que desde ese momento comenzó “a pensar que había algo patológico en nuestro apego a los objetos materiales“. Fue así como empezó a trabajar en su proyecto ‘In Extremis (bodies with no regret)’, que al español traduce ‘En extremo (cuerpos sin arrepentimiento)’.

En sus fotografías se ve a la gente en el piso porque, justamente, habla “sobre un mundo que está cayendo”. El artista, que desde hace unos años vive en Barcelona, explicó al medio lo que quiso decir con eso:

“Elegimos dictadores que nos obligan a vivir en una democracia falsa que aceptamos en silencio. Provocamos guerras, desigualdades étnicas, destruimos la naturaleza y nuestras relaciones humanas, viviendo con los ojos pegados a una pantalla.

Añadió que las personas ahora se llenan “de cosas materiales y a menudo inútiles”. Por esa razón, en su trabajo intenta recrear la superabundancia, la “sobrecarga emocional y material, la que de repente ya no puedes contener y colapsas al suelo”.

El fotógrafo publicó las imágenes de ‘In Extremis’ en Instagram, donde tiene más de 107.000 seguidores. A continuación, algunas de ellas:

🔸HONKY TONK WOMAN🔸 (first publication 03.05.2014) __(@cenerentola_pret_a_manger), main character of this photo, was terrified she wouldn’t make it. She’s not an actress, she’s not a model or a ballerina… Still she wanted to test herself and overcome her fears. We took one of the photos the public loved the most. Never give up on life! Thank you Sara ❤️

🔸LA PROVA DEL POCO🔸 (first publication 12.08.2014) __for this photo I had thought of overthrowing a vegetable soup on the poor model’s head, but we didn’t have time to cook it. so, I bought canned food. it was so stinky that she almost died intoxicated. thank you Valentina (@valedeggio) for being so patient with me 😇

🔸LA SIGNORA DELLA PORTA ACCANTO🔸 (first publication 14.03.2014) __Gaia Benassi, the model in this photo, she almost had a claustrophobic attack during the shooting. because of her position she could no longer stand alone, me and my assistant went to pick her up. we have struggled so much but the result was great
