"EQUAL ONLY IN THE BEGINNING YOU FEIGN TO BE FORM AND STEAL FORMS BREAKING POINT BLINDING LIGHT THAT PREVENTS SIGHT EVERYTHING FADES OUT THEN THE LIGHT COMES BACK" Pallade Atena, by A.C. Bianchi "Divine Cracks" represents the idealization of the feminine essence as the source of creative rebirth, an ode to woman as her whole: life generator/object of male desire/regent of the universal order. The strong contrast of the print together with the detail of the framing generate an abstraction of the human body, almost as if it were the marble statue of a classical divinity. The anatomic detail is subtly revealed within the black of the line confining the erotic tension to an almost subconscious level. The result forms a crack in the white idyll of the paper that shatters all certainties of the male universe, a slight discomfort, a faint embarassment... the photographic medium reminds us that everything is real, attainable, touchable, earthly yet uncanny. The single images don’t bear names, only numbers, making all the subjects equivalent, at the same time different from one another, unique.
