I Speak A Language That Is Not Mine

According to the photographer, the personification of objects and the body caught between two states are his favorite themes. Featured in past collaborations between Bolzoni and Études, these topics resurface in I SPEAK A LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT MINE.

Digital photographs, scans, facsimiles, screenshots: these various images, put in relation to one another, compose a mental cartography of the artist’s state of mind. Bodies in motion, chromatic analogies, skin details, plastic textures and press clippings instill a dynamic impression of uncanniness.

The term ‘‘abuse’’ – referring to the eponymous titles of Bolzoni’s previous books takes on an evocative power and invites us to question our relationship to images. The result is an intimate visual poem about form and substance.
