Luciano Rigolini - Surrogates, Musée de l'Elysée, 2012, Lausanne

 

Hardcover, cloth bound. Edited by Luciano Rigolini and Sidi Vanetti. Graphic design: Sidi Vanetti. 

The interest of Luciano Rigolini (born 1950 in Ticino, lives and works in Paris and Lugano) for vernacular photography questions this particular mode of representation of the real. He carefully collects neutral images of objects or urban furniture, removed of any human presence or trace, such as the photographs made for sales or industrial documentation catalogues. Collected, found on internet, presented as such, or thoroughly retouched and greatly enlarged, Luciano Rigolini's photographs reveal an aesthetic approach filled with sculptural, pictorial, and metaphorical qualities, all the while suggesting a reflection about our ability to see and perceive.
