Sandro Pezzi’s Photographic Magic at Agora Gallery

Sandro Pezzi’s digital photo collages combine the untouchable with the tantalizing, pairing closely-framed flesh with panoramas of brilliant but indifferent cityscapes, fields, and sky. His figures are warm, approachable and unthreatening, but they inhabit indefinable dreamscapes in which shadows can be negative or textured and a woman’s body can be both a wall and a source of light. Pezzi favors a pared-down composition, choosing just two or three images to layer over one another for maximum, recognizable believability. These are all the more haunting for their clarity; in the strange land that Pezzi has created, the most mysterious phenomena are presented straightforwardly, as mere fact.


Sandro Pezzi-L’Ombra-The Shadow

For Pezzi, this method contributes to what he calls a kind of “‘magic’…capturing the exact moment in which the elements of nature are mixed up to create a perfect symbiosis.” His photography career spans two decades and comprises travelogues as well as audio-visual pieces to further explore the mysteries of emotion. He was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where he lives and works today.
