Carola Syz
Sarzi-Amadè exhibits «Sguardi clandestini» ("Stolen Glances") at the
Pevero Golf Club in Porto Cervo, a selection of black and white images
printed on aluminium.
Through these pictures, the London-based
photographer pays tribute to femininity. All the pictures were taken in
real settings, but they feature a surreal atmosphere obtained through a
specific composition of the image, enhanced by means of solarization
(obtained digitally by Carola), a process invented accidentally by Man Ray
in the darkroom, and used by this master of surrealism to add effective
plasticity to the image.
Carola?s inspiration comes from lights and shadows
and reflecting surfaces, which led her to experiment with unusual
materials rather than photographic paper. Aluminium is used in this case
by the photographer to accentuate the picture?s ?glow?, and to stimulate
the interest of the observer. Due to the reflecting qualities of the
pictures, spectators can see their own reflection in the photographs,
entering and becoming a part of the mysterious and dreamlike setting in
which girls dress up, or playfully hide behind Venetian masks, veils and
laces. A deeper, meaningful world lies beneath, recalling
Schnitzler-figurines laden with secrets and desires.
Aesthetics and the composition of the image are
essential to Carola. In certain cases her lens focuses on a single detail
with a tendency towards abstraction (in the pictures portraying parts of
the body), in others she obtains a picture of the woman ?in feathers and
corset?, Newton-style, a self-assured woman flaunting her image. Once
again, in works portraying a dancer in her vaulting and contortions,
tricks of light and shadow - enhanced as far as possible by means of
digital solarization - create a fantasy and surreal world, bestowing
extremely plastic qualities on the bodies. And the urban landscape of
London, seen in the background of several pictures, helps in increasing
this feeling.
