Testae

Testae
by Oriana Majoli


"Testae" is the plural nominative of the term which in Latin means vase, amphora. It is a collection of human vessels. The naked body becomes ceramic and reveals itself between penumbra and light, lying in front of a 19th century tapestry, like a precious piece of furniture. Each polaroid was manipulated with the application of previously dried and treated natural essences, in order to manage their shapes, textures and chromatic gradations individually.
