Lay Out

Teresa Giannico’s research instills doubt on the documentary value of photography trough a process of reconstruction of reality. Her works are the result of a series of consecutive steps, which shape a clear stratification: the subjects of Lay Out, once the original pictures from online rental ads are downloaded, are printed, mounted on cardboard, arranged in a diorama, re-photographed and re-printed in small and large sizes. Instead of creating a perfect illusionistic machine, perspective reveals the illusion of representation within a precarious and unbalanced world.
