Davide Monteleone
In The Russian East #011, Contemporary Portrait Photography, Photojournalism

2014 -2016

About the Item

An original print by Italian documentary photographer Davide Monteleone. The work is a Giclee Print on Fine Art Baryta 325g from "In The Russian East" series. Signed on sticker label. Richard Avedon's "In the American West" is widely regarded as a landmark project in photographic history and a definitive expression of the power of photographic art. For "In the American West", Avedon traveled throughout five summers, meeting and photographing the plain people of the West: ranch workers, roustabouts, bar girls, drifters, and gamblers. The resulting book includes 120 exquisitely printed black-and-white photographs, published in 1985. Thirty years later, with this image and concept, Monteleone wants to emulate Richard Avedon work in the Russian East. Inspired by what Avedon made through the photographic language of the portrait, Monteleone's project aims to map Russia far away from Moscow, starting from a purely geographical sense. Going to the East, towards Asia that is much harder to ransom, reaching out to China and towards the borders of the new "empire". To grasp through faces, places, and documents the undergoing metamorphosis, whether real or a figment of the imagination of the new propaganda. In those faraway terrains the nationalistic echoes sound feeble, the consequences are imperceptible, and the economic rhythms beat in different hour zones. Literature: - In The Russian East, Davide Monteleone, Spazier Gang, 2019, pag. 26. The piece is accompanied by a certification of authenticity issued by a gallery. The conditions of the piece are mostly perfect. The piece could travel unframed in order to have cheaper and safer shipping upon the buyer's request. Other framing options are available. As the piece travels from Italy, please consider that the fulfillment of exportation papers requires a minimum of one week from the moment of purchase.

    Stampa Giclée in edizione limitata su carta baritata 315 gr. della serie "Paparazzi". "Queste immagini hanno un carattere ingannevole che contraddice il sensazionalismo che vorrebbero trasmettere" (Mazaccio & Drowilal). Il punto di partenza della serie "Paparazzi" è stata una raccolta di immagini di celebrità tratte dalle loro attività quotidiane, come lo shopping, il jogging e il golf, ma tutte scattate dai paparazzi. Dopo averle raccolte da riviste e da internet, il duo ha riunito le immagini in una stessa foto che ha permesso di "neutralizzare l'aspetto sensazionale, passando così dallo "scoop" della cattura di una celebrità a una folla anonima" (Mazaccio & Drowilal). Lavorando principalmente con la fotografia e il collage, Mazaccio & Drowilal decostruiscono molteplici sfaccettature della cultura visiva contemporanea attraverso il loro processo di raccolta e sistemazione delle immagini dei mass media. La loro pratica visiva e il loro approccio estetico sono fortemente influenzati dalle nuove iconografie di Internet e dalla cultura digitale. Mazaccio & Drowilal hanno esplorato un'ampia gamma di argomenti riguardanti la celebrità, il branding, l'artificialità e l'identità.

    A limited edition Giclee print on Baryta paper 315 gr. from the "Paparazzi" series. “These images have a deceptive character which contradicts the sensationalism they would like to convey” (Mazaccio & Drowilal). The starting point of the series “Paparazzi” was a collection of celebrities’ pictures from their everyday activities such as shopping and jogging, and golfing, but all shot by the paparazzi. After collecting them from magazines and the internet, the duo gathered the images in the same picture allowing them “for the sensational side to be neutralized, so there was a shift from the «scoop» of catching a celebrity, to an anonymous crowd.”(Mazaccio & Drowilal). Working principally with photography and collage, Mazaccio & Drowilal deconstruct multiple facets of contemporary visual culture through their process of gathering and arranging mass-media images. Their visual practice and aesthetic approach are heavily influenced by the Internet’s new iconographies and digital culture. Mazaccio & Drowilal have explored a wide breadth of subjects pertaining to celebrity, branding, artificiality, and identity.
