Shipwrecked in the red sea
About the photographer
The photos of Federico Odello tell about the contradictions of modern times, presented through a d’essai cinematic cut in black and white vision of reality, even when he shoots in color.
As in a tribal dance, the characters line up and reconnect with the immanence, grabbing and highlighting the contrast between their own history and the history. Sometimes they disappear from the scene, leaving the aseptic taste of the reflection on the intangible to the horizontal alignment of the layers.
His photos capture the dramatic nature of the centuries-old collective burnout in a melancholic acknowledgement of the lack of transcendence
After graduating in Political Science in Turin, he took up photography at the end of a long journey as a twentieth-century painting and african art collector. A lover of black and white reportage, in his work explores the theme of street photography as a form of social documentary following Atget and Cartier-Bresson lessons.
