Ersilia. Described by author Italo Calvino in the book Invisible Cities as a city inconstant rebuilding and destruction. The citizens
carry string with them as they travel from their homes to different places to participate in daily activities until the roads and alleys
become impassable with string. These images, inspired by the words of Italo Calvino depict how we take from the Earth and continue
to live our lives forever altering these places beyond recognition.
Maurizio Anzeri offers a wealth of inspiration for students who are looking for portrait photography ideas. The brightly embroidered patterns and delicately stitched veils cross the faces with sharp lines and dramatic glimmering forms. Note: Although Anzeri sews directly into found vintage photographs (often from flea markets and car boot sales) it is usually recommended that most high school students use their own photographs for this purpose.
