RRome, 11 May. (askanews) – How we are and how we should appear according to certain imposed stereotypes. Bodies and defects that are hard to accept. The project was born as a space where you can feel good about who you are, imperfect “Liberati”, photographic exhibition on imperfection by Pamela Lippolis. In Rome, in her photographic studio, she welcomed women of all ages, even a man, who freed themselves from the fear of feeling physically or emotionally inadequate, entrusting and trusting her.
A project, says the photographer, born in 2023 “from a desire of mine and also of all the women who came here to the studio to share the lights and shadows of themselves“. “I started this project thinking of photographing only physical imperfections, therefore moles, scars, soft bellies, cellulite and among other things also in a liberating photographic journey, because usually those who put themselves in front of the camera, myself included, have the tendency to show themselves in their best side, in their best profile and instead in this type of experience the fact of going and looking for that very imperfection made every session interesting; then little by little these imperfections also became deeper imperfections, determined precisely by not feeling enough, beautiful enough, thin enough, tall enough”.
The show “The praise of crack” is associated with the exhibitioncurated by the psychotherapist Nadia Daffinà (directed by Daniela Coppola) with the participation of Antonella Giannini and Silvio Alessandroni, between obsessions and imposed models of beauty and fragility, calling into question Narciso, Pirandello, Oscar Wilde and with the stories of some women who participated in the project through the emotional filter of Pamela who experienced them.
“The ultimate goal is to describe the crack as a crack through which light passes and this light is the uniqueness of each of us,” he says again.. A project that he would also like to reach in the theater and perhaps, given the theme, in schools. “The ambition is certainly to take Lìberati out of my studio,” he says.
“Liberati is precisely the visual testimony, the body becomes a political manifesto as if it wanted to tell that everyone is worth what they are, because a body is never just a body, it is a story and every story is worthy of being told”.
