The act of transfiguration is the change of form, of appearance. A metamorphosis of reality to access another vision, another perception of the body.
What are we, what does our body hide, in the folds of our flesh, in those secret recesses that limit and define our lineaments…
What does this word “identity”, which increasingly encircles us, really stand for? What if, while invoking a dance born in neutral, universal darkness, we let the body tell us that identity doesn’t exist? In this “beyond”, behind the figure and appearance we are confronted with every day, a thousand facets of ourselves collide and reveal themselves. So many realities that belong to us and that we have yet to explore.
Bodies, but also emotions, reinvent themselves through this same process of transformation. An alchemy created by the reaction to light and the trust generated on the other side of the camera.
The TRANSFIGURA project, centered on ballerina Anna-Lisa Alesiani, who has become the photographer’s accomplice, captures this dreamlike dimension of another visual plane, where movement and mutation translate into a dance of light and form.
