Working with a large format 5x4 camera, Gli Isolani draws upon the
visual language of Tomlinson's previous projects, lending the black
and white photographs a veil of timelessness. At the project's
genesis, Alys researched the literature and poetry connected to the
history and culture of the islands of Italy, exploring tradition
and identity, ancient myths, folklore and fairy tales. Set against
crumbling stone and rural fields, the images depict the elaborate
and uncanny costumes and masks worn for Holy Week, and other events
and festivals, sometimes inspired by pagan ritual and beliefs. The
fantastical tales and precious costumes have been passed down many
generations within these communities where customs run deep. The
gestures and the costumes depicted in the photographs draw on the
relationship between man and the land, the sacred and the profane,
and good and evil.
