Tagli fotografici e archivi organici: il flusso vitale delle immagini

The article emphasizes the stratified, dynamic, and metamorphic nature of photographic images as well as their paradoxical vital essence, focusing on the intimate relationship between skin and photography (both analog and digital) as inscription surfaces. Through the accumulation of various and constantly shifting temporalities, the works of artists like Thomas Mailaender and Graham Harwood embed photography within the biological time of the human body, resulting in "organic" photographic archives that display historical and cultural memories.
