Sandro Giordano was born in Rome on October 6th 1972. He studied set design at the “Istituto di cinematografia e televisione di Roberto Rossellini” in Rome. Immediately after graduating he began working as a light and sound engineer in Roman theatres.

Sick and tired of the entertainment industry, Sandro moved to Barcelona where he’s lived since 2010. He often returns to Rome to because he’s in the cast of the show “Dignita’ Autonome di Prostituzione” to which he is deeply attached.

IN EXTREMIS (bodies with no regret)
My photographs are “short stories” about a world that is falling-down. Each shot “tells” about worn-out characters who, in a sudden black-out of mind and body, crash with no attempt to save themselves. They are unable to, because of the fatigue of the everyday “representation” of living, oppressed by “appearance” instead of simply “existing”.
We live in a distorted world of plastic surgery, which perpetuates stereotyped images that feed a preset marketing model.
I believe that perfection is in imperfection. It is in strong contrasts, in frailty, and in the humanity that makes each individual different from the rest. I hide the face of my characters in order for their BODY to speak for them. This fall is the point of no return.
There’s a saying: “you must hit rock bottom to start over”. The FALL of my characters IS their “HITTING ROCK BOTTOM”, as they’ve reached their “LIMIT” beyond which their “FALSE SELF” cannot go. Each of them saves an object, they hold it in their hand and it symbolizes this falsification.
This pretence is represented not only by the objects but also the clothes, the hairstyles and the location! Everything that is visible in the picture represents their pretence while the smashed BODY expresses the TRUTH, which has to, in fact, crash to be told!
I never use dummies in my shots; I use professional actors who are able to interpret what isn’t visible with their bodies, because I want the invisible to be visible.
Since I was a child I’ve always loved films by Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy because they made me laugh. In their films we often see terrible things happen to the characters, serious accidents… THE FALL... The instinctive reaction is bewilderment and awkwardness towards the unlucky fate of the character but then that same awkwardness breaks into a liberating laugh.
This is the effect I wish to recreate through my photographs: tell tragedy through irony. A broken down humanity that I look to with fondness and attachment and from which, I myself, don’t feel excluded from.
It is this feeling of empathy that allows me not to judge but to share the stories I tell, in the hopes that, if I manage to get a laugh out of a spectator, this be a favourable auspice, one of believing in a better and more AUTHENTIC future. That laugh, finally, is a REVELATION.

© Flora Borsi
Flora is a young fine art photographer from Hungary. She uses exquisite photo manipulation to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams. Her immaculate technique and subtle conceptual ideas create beautiful evocations of universal emotions, from lust and desire to despair and loss. Flora at once captures the complex strength and fragility of the human psyche. She expertly visualises dark fantasies and atmospheric dreams, utilising the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express in the urban world. Her work often features the female body and she plays with hiding and revealing the eyes or face to leave only the feminine form, exploring questions of female representation and the relationship between body and self. Flora has exhibited internationally with solo exhibitions in Europe and the USA, and has most notably taken part in the recent “Continental Shift” group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery. Her ethereal aesthetic has won multiple art prizes and garnered critical acclaim from press including The Guardian’s Observer and BBC Culture.
About my manipulationsThe editor software is just a tool to complete my pictures, I want to make an image, which looks like a real, unedited photo.I would like to shock people or make them smile with some society critics. My goal is to inspire the viewer to think, to feel what I felt.
"Flora Borsi is a popular artist from Budapest, Hungary. She has specialized digital photography. Her works it to visualize the physi-cally impossible in a form of photo manipulation. She is an expert in this art. She is noted for the digital manipulation. She is very well known for her works. We can find the accuracy and extreme efficiency through there works. Her works are awesome and can be memorable for years. Her hard work and perseverance is obvious in the works. Her thirst for art is clearly visible in her creations."

Vassilis Tangoulis is an International Award-Winning Black and
White Fine Art photographer based in Greece. He has been a
recipient of international awards for his Black and White long
exposure work in International Photography Awards (IPA
2012-2014), PX3 (Prix de la Photographie Paris 2014) ,
Shortlisted in SWPA (Sony World Photography Awards) 2014,
International Lupe Awards 2014 and more than 30 Honorable
mentions in many different categories like Architecture, P
anoramics, People, Self-Portrait, Abstract.
Also winning works of him have been selected to be presented in
galleries in New York for the Best of Show IPA awards
(2012,2013).
His photographic vision is better described as capturing the time
in a world where “present” is only an infinitesimal part of time,
a fleeting illusion dividing almost infinite past and future.
For him Fine Art photography is an alternative way to express a
common subject so that each individual artist can reveal secret
aspects about it. In order to do this, each artist experiments
with light, time, and spatial coordinates– and then through one’s
processing, one reveals a subject framed in a transformed world
in which its dimensions can be easily described and visualized.
Recently published his first photobook with the title “Silent
world”

Nick Gentry is a British artist from London. Much of his artistic output
has been generated with the use of contributed artefacts and materials.
He states that through this process "contributor, artist and viewer come
closer together". His art is influenced by the development of
consumerism, technology, identity and cyberculture in society, with a
distinctive focus on obsolete media.
"His paintings are at once archaeological and haunting...a social art
project that turns form and function inside out" - Sydney Edelist,
Huffington Post Arts
He is best known for his floppy disk paintings and film negative
artworks, placing an emphasis on recycling obsolete media and the reuse
of personal objects as a central theme. Such artistic works of social
commentary have been featured in galleries in the UK, USA and in cities
throughout the world.

I mix skills from different worlds together. It is a blend of skills
of my (I'm originally a painter and sketcher, textiles - I was a
textile artist some years ago, photography and image processing)
that ultimately meets each other in this form of art.
A main factor are also social emotional influences in my life which
developed how I see, learn and finally understand things in an
essential (psychological) way.
All these (artistic) elements from different areas and personal
influences come together in a work of mine." -
In this age of rapidity and technical development, in which human is
exposed to impersonal detachment of current technical era, Mariska
Karto creates the vulnerable and intensive dimensions of human
feelings and emotions. This all happens in the dreamworld she has
created with her technique in which past and present have found
their way to each other, in this era of transformation.

“Instead of words that have their own meanings we have elements of
picture that have their own meanings and in these picture sentencise
they are constanly creating some newer and newer ideas in their
contexts. Elements of pictures are words, the whole picture is a
sentence and the exhibition itself is a complex text of pictures hang on
the walls. It is a poem.”
Tamás Ambrits is a member of Associaton of Hungarian Photographers.
He lives and works in the westernmost town of Hungary, called Sopron.
He has been interested in photography since he was a little boy.
He learnt to use camera from his father, who was an active member of
community of local photographers. Unfortunately, he could not be a
witness of his son's success. Afther his father's death he went on with
his amateour studies and he was trying to find his own style.
After the year 2000 he could find his real creative self after digital
technology had given him the freedom that made him possible to turn
pictures existing in his mind into reality.
His ars poetica is that opportunities given by digital technology have
to be exploited. As in music an electric guitar compared to a guitar, a
synthethiser compared to an elecrtric guitar opened up newer and newer
possibilities for musicians, digital photography offers us the same
possibility compared to analog photography. In the process of creating a
artistic picture, he considers idea – plan – camera – computer with
Photoshop application equally important elements of his creative work.
He creates long exposure black and white photos, portraits, but his
favourite series is “Dream scraps”. The photos of this surreal series
are created in a sequence of idea - planing (drawing) - taking photos of
elements of pictures - digital afterwork. The artist tends to depict his
own inside world in minmalist and symbolic style.

How has he found this title for his series? According to a legend there
was a poet who used to wake up in the middle of the night and he had
great ideas but he went back to sleep and all these great ideas were
gone by the time he woke up in the morning. Not to forget the ideas he
put a notebook next to his bed and he jotted down the ideas. He called
these notes „Dream scraps”.
The artist has won several national and international awards.
Even if in his picures we can not see complete human bodies but only
bodyparts or no human picture elements at all, his pictures tell us
stories about people. Each of his photos tells us a different short
story or a tale. He is happy with any feedback on his photos as visitors
of his exhibitions often tell him their own tales, stories inspired by
the photos.
