I can’t see if I have the sun in my eyes

Congratulations to recent RUFA graduate Nicola Russo. His photographic project has been selected by Zone Magazine and will be exhibited in Bergamo, as part of the exhibition “One eye sees, the other feels”.

 

The project: “I can’t see if I have the sun in my eyes”

Numb:
(of a part of the body) deprived of the power of physical sensation.

This project talks about the sensation of a pain that dissolves over time, disappearing but leaving the trace of its path. Through a series of photographs which are conceptually connected, this work aims to recreate the perception of a particular emotion.

As it continues to grow, Zone Magazine’s goal is to cultivate a variety of dialogues between artists, artists and their audiences, as well as support them with print and online publications.
