Amedeo Abello, LE VOYEUR

Room 9

Two lovers kiss at night in front of the window of a building in Paris. It looks like a scene from a movie, but it is a fragment of reality that Amedeo Abello has managed to capture with his analogue camera, entering for a moment into the private life of a domestic interior.
His gaze turned outwards, on the other hand, for Photomaton, in which the artist immortalised passers-by in Paris metro stations using photo booths and a mirror tilted at 45°, without being able to control the subject of the shot. The photo booths are portraits of unaware strangers, chosen by chance.

Amedeo Abello was born in 1986. He lives and works in Turin.
