Maurizio Galimberti Nancy Brilli
Maurizio Galimberti is a high profile photographer based in Milan. His work, documented extensively throughout the 1990s on the basis of his partnership with Polaroid Italia is instanstly recognisable.
Galimberti's work, also on exhibit at the stand of Ca di Fra gave me a feeling of dejavu, but a very pleasant one.
Do you remember during the 1990s when large scale color copiers became available, and quickly captured the hearts of photographers who were drawn to their distinct ability to capture images in a flat plane. Well, Galimberti's approach is different in that his images break the picture plane into fragments, sometimes repeating, sometimes emphasizing textural and visual details, but nonetheless, there is something of his approach which reminds me of that flattening approach, used to great effect in the cover art of Tori Amos' From The Choirgirl Hotel album.
