john stezaker

On sunday I went to the Whitechapel Gallery to see the exhibition from british artist John Stezaker.
I liked so much,
i didn't know him before but I was mesmerized by
his surrealistic manipulation of icon and landscapes images.

From the exhibition catalogue:

"British artist John Stezaker is fascinated by the lure of images. Taking classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, Stezaker makes collages to give old images a new meaning. By adjusting, inverting and slicing separate pictures together to create unique new works of art, Stezaker explores the subversive force of found images.

This first major exhibition of John Stezaker offers a chance to see work by an artist whose subject is the power in the act of looking itself. With over 90 works from the 1970s to today, the artist reveals the subversive force of images, reflecting on how visual language can create new meaning."

emerald uhhh

ok,
the idea was
"uooo let's dye JUST the roots in emerald green, so I can have Tie-dye hair, green and pink!"

but when we washed away the colour it took 10 seconds to it to dye all of my head.
Immediately

I don't know why, but

Pink
rest in peace


we'll see what will happen when i'll wash them again.

noone wants to talk with you

1000 friends should make you feel less lonely?

ooops

FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT! last night at Hoxton Pony.
I don't know why but I saw blood on a guy's face.
lots of blood.

the three of us

M'hai detto: ti amo.
Ti dissi: aspetta.
Stavo per dirti: eccomi.
Tu m'hai detto: vattene.


Soffri? E invece io non soffro più.
Non bisogna soffrire tutti e due insieme:
quando smetterai tu, comincerò io.


Lei ha conosciuto poche donne,
io ho conosciuto molti uomini:
si farà una media,
così potremo formare una discreta coppia.


La felicità si racconta male perché non ha parole,
ma si consuma e nessuno se ne accorge.

cuore di mamma

i wanna be a star

Uma Thurman (so young and already stunning)

Pam Grier (coolest hairstyle ever)

Jay-z (love the face expression)

ok, I really could waste hours on website like celebrity school pics,
it's just so useless and morbidly curious to look at people's picture from the past.

Stalker that I am

amore fa rima con fiore

it's like a forest of blossoms, and flowers, and leaves
growing in my chest
when i think of you

è che quando ti penso
sbocciano le rose
le sento germogliare lì, nell'ombelico
e poi su, s'arrampicano sulle costole, attorcigliano, e qualche foglia
e dal verde dei rovi s'apron mille forme, cento colori

qui, nel mezzo
