The "Mannequins" collection by Giuseppina Irene Groccia contains a series of photographs which are taciturn spokespersons for the conflictual relationship between woman and her representation.
By observing them one becomes involved by silent figures, between the seen and the visionary who impose subjectivity and identity, stimulating to find intimate readings of one's imaginary baggage.
The artist creates a deliberate confluence between the superhuman static nature and the elusive evanescence, transporting us to an inaccessible space, made of silence and intermittent breaths, where labile and flowing entities, generate atmospheres of intimate vibrations, aimed at reaching the overcoming of the visible.
Here we find two worlds in one dimension, the concrete and the imagined. The object and the soul. Involved by the power of the contrasts, a concrete conflictual force is born, visible only to those who manage to overcome that little madness, kept within each of his shots, present in this series.
The photographic lens captures an apparent static nature, transforming silent figures into emotional beats, managing to create temporal narratives in our soul and have the immense power to make them stay.
Giuseppina Irene Groccia leads us to dig, to enter her sensitive world, to recreate what is not yet there is. To cradle in our mind the set of traits and its meanings, only in this way does the immaterial become powerful communication, giving access to an elsewhere where static faces and bodies become human horizons, physiognomies in which to enclose concepts and finally giving us a powerful poetics, alive and out of any common rule.
