Fake Too Fake project by giovanni bortolani

The subject of this exhibition is the main body, wearing wounds and disfigurements gives us the fragility of appearances by a part and the scars of life on the other side. In contrast to the myth of eternal beauty that resists battle against time, with these photos you want to demystify this concept, to show that the madness that lies behind this race is human, all too human. In their work, and John Bortolani Marcorea Malià transform reality in a fantastic stage. John uses light to trap the subject in a frame and makeup pixels. Marco manipulates the organic shapes the hair and paints the skin. Who needs them to do their search for a magic mirror, which fore the reality to make it more beautiful. John and Mark are two great magicians of appearance. This project transformed the photographic images taken stage in a harsh reality: it is a mirror and said visible and handling acts to unmask the theater. Just a little ‘make-up water and leaves, the fold will come undone. And every bottom photo is only the illusion of stopping time.

Abraham Lake is home to a rare phenomenon where bubbles get frozen right underneath its surface. They’re often referred to as ice bubbles or frozen bubbles. This has made the lake famous among photographers.

Photographer Fikret Onal explains the phenomenon: “The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and methane gets frozen once coming close enough to much colder lake surface and they keep stacking up below once the weather gets colder and colder during [the] winter season. “Abraham Lake is an artificial lake on North Saskatchewan River in western Alberta, Canada.

Francis Alys - Fabiola (2008)

“The story of St. Fabiola, a 4th-century Roman aristocrat from the Fabia family who is supposed to have been an early Mother Teresa, became popular in the late 19th century, and an 1885 portrait of her by a French academician (which is now lost) has since been endlessly copied around the world.

Appearing on postcards, posters and religious trinkets, Fabiola has been a beloved subject for countless painters, most of them amateurs. The portrait’s format is almost always the same: Fabiola is seen in profile facing left, her head covered by a rich red veil.

Mr. Alys, who was born in Belgium in 1959 and moved to Mexico City in 1990, began collecting Fabiola paintings—as the genre is called—about 15 years ago, buying them at thrift shops, flea markets and antiques stores primarily in Mexico and Europe. He has previously shown his collection three times, when it was much smaller; the current presentation includes more than 300 works.”
