Maurizio Anzeri

Maurizio Anzeri is an Italian artist who combines vintage photography with embroidered contemporary designs to create “photo sculptures”. I think that Anzeri creates some unusual but extremely creative work with a lot of stories behind the photographs.This photo to me represents different personalities. For example, the man in blue could be hiding that he is sad or something as blue kind of represents that. The hole could be just the small fracture of himself that he wants people to see, or that he only wants to see a small amount of reality. Which is another thing these masks could represent, seperate realities of what they think the world really looks like.

This photo shows alot of effort but at the same time none at all. the man has his head slouched back which is kind of like a lazy pose And the stitch work is really neat and tidy but at the same time its all over the place and shows a complete lack of interest from Anzeri when he was stitching it. Its is also quiet a graceful photo tho, like the whole thing just makes me think, who cares?because this guy certainly doesn’t.

HELP!! Is what this photograph is screaming at me. The thread coming from her mouth is obviosly representing sound and the way her mouth is open wide says that she is screaming or shouting. And the thread from her eye must be representing tears as it is running down her cheek bone all the way to her clothes.
