Laguna and Vibrations
Soho Photo Gallery is pleased to welcome the Italian photographer Euro Rotelli as April’s guest exhibitor.
Rotelli’s show will consist of two series of 8†x10†(20x25 cm.) Polaroid images -30 in all - that are entitled Vibrations and Lagoon.
According to Rotelli, his discovery of Polaroid film has given him the means to fully express his way of feeling and interpreting reality as he sees it. This allows him to manipulate each Polaroid photograph’s surface, producing results that are always different and original. In his Lagoon series, Rotelli reproduces on Polaroid film the same sensations he feels standing in front of the landscape, which in this case is a lagoon. He says, “I can relive those reflections on the water and the changing light and shadows.â€
Commenting on Vibrations, the Italian critic Roberto Mutti said, “Rotelli’s strength in photographing the nude lies in his highly original technique that combines so well with his eye for composition and the careful attention he pays to the sweeping harmony of the whole. Rotelli’s imaginative use of Polaroid film enables him to obtain images whose surface texture recalls that of skin, while creating an atmosphere both delicate and intriguing.â€
Rotelli’s work has been published in various reviews and magazines including Fotopratica, Ynox, Photology and Fotostorica, and he has exhibited both in Italy and abroad. He recently won an Honorarable Mention at Photoawards in Los Angeles and at the International Polaroid Awards in Boston.
