The first extensive monograph dedicated to the work of Paolo
Ventura (Milan, 1968). Ventura has established himself in the field
of artistic photography, offering a singular and absolutely
original interpretation of staged photography, an art form in which
photography is the final product of a creative process which, in
his case, involves the preparation of scenarios and mannequins: the
latter, together with real characters among which the artist
himself often appears, are the protagonists of his stories. In
these three-dimensional settings Ventura recreates, and then fixes
through photography, a mental space that refers to the atmosphere
of “magical realism” and to the fairytale flavour of childhood,
generating a deliberately surreal contrast with the depth of some
topics involved (such as war, abandonment, memory, identity). The
volume offers an overall look at the artist’s 15 years of
activity, showcasing 21 series from 2005 to the present time,
highlighting the evolution of his language which, in addition to
photography, is also expressed through drawings. The monograph
includes critical texts by Walter Guadagnini and Francine Prose, an
interview with Ventura by Monica Poggi and biographical notes. Text
in English and Italian.
