body(e)scape

Marco Bressi's analog black-and-white studies trace the topography of the human form, where light sculpts curves, shadows, and textures into landscapes of vulnerability and strength. Grain becomes a metaphor for raw humanity, as close-ups of skin, hair, and gesture dissolve into abstraction, inviting contemplation of impermanence and the body's quite poetry. These images, stripped of pretense, echo the exhibition's ethos: unvarnished, yet undeniably sublime. Here, the nude is neither object or ideal, but a language of intimacy whispered through silver gelatin and shadows.
