Introducing Picter Selects, a series highlighting projects from photographers who use Picter Workspace. In this installment, our communications manager Giada De Agostinis did a three-question mini-interview with Gianmarco Maraviglia about his project Behind The Glass.
Giada De Agostinis
What’s the project about?
Gianmarco Maraviglia
Behind The Glass is a long documentation and research project that explores man-made artificial environments for animals in the largest European facilities. A visual and visionary investigation, sometimes dystopian and futuristic, on the relationship of fruition of the spaces created in the image of reality, or of the common imaginary of reality, for living beings who have never known and will never know the relative environment in nature. The man, a bit ‘Demiurgo and a bit’ slave, moves on the background of meta-physical scenarios, in a game of mirrors that confuses roles. Who is the intruder? Behind the Glass explores the subtle between truth and fiction, from the point of view of those who can never understand the difference, as in a metaphor of reality and of the contemporary, in which the construction of the verisimile becomes a de facto reality.
