Sandro Giordano
IN EXTREMIS (bodies with no regret)
“My photographs are “short stories” about a falling-down world. Each shot tells about worn-out characters who, in a sudden black-out of mind and body, crash with no attempt to save themselves. They are unable to, because of the fatigue of the everyday representation of living, oppressed by appearance instead of simply existing.”
Sandro Giordano is a contemporary Italian photographer known for his striking and thought-provoking series, "IN EXTREMIS - bodies with no regret." This series captures everyday people in moments of falling, visually manipulating these occurrences to create twisted and often humorous situations. The bodies in his photographs are posed in awkward positions and shot from unflattering angles, creating the image of a world in a state of collapse.
Giordano's work is both visually striking and conceptually rich. He explains that his photographs tell the story of individuals who live life at a fast pace, experiencing sudden blackouts. The demands of modern life become overwhelming and our body reacts causing chaos in our daily lives. This underlying message is portrayed in the series, providing a powerful commentary on the human condition in the modern world.
Sandro Giordano's photographs have been widely exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and have been widely acclaimed by critics and art lovers alike. He is a photographer whose work continues to push the boundaries of contemporary photography and his series "IN EXTREMIS - bodies with no regret" is a testament to his skill, creativity, and unique perspective. His work stands as an important contribution to the world of photography, and his unique vision will continue to inspire and fascinate audiences for years to come.
“A broken down humanity that I look to with fondness and attachment and from which, I myself, don’t feel excluded from. It is this feeling of empathy that allows me not to judge but to share the stories I tell, in the hopes that, if I manage to get a laugh out of a spectator, this be a favorable auspice, one of believing in a better and more AUTHENTIC future. That laugh, finally, is a REVELATION.”
