Paolo Novelli | Artpil

This month we had the chance to speak with Paolo Novelli, an Italian artist whose work is embedded in the use of analog photography. His latest exhibition, The Day After Night is now on view at Camera – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin until July 21st.

Wolleh and Tolokonnikova: If Light Meets Darkness.

Light and darkness are two concepts we often take for granted. We are used to their daily cycles, we switch on the light in our houses when the night takes over. But what if they were not granted to us anymore? What if we didn’t have the chance to switch on the light to make us feel safe?

Two artists who lived in very different times, Lothar Wo...

From Polaroids to Forests: An Interview with Wim Wenders | The Columbist

"It has been an amazing journey from the little boy who got his first camera in 1951. It was a 6 by 6 plastic camera, and you had to look from the top, do you remember those cameras?

I felt like you have to look ahead at something and lift the camera up to your eyes, but looking down separated you".

Gisèle Vienne: Delving into the Unsettling in Ourselves

What is a doll? A double and a projection. A memento of the weirdness in our bodies. But, they are also a political instrument, of both submission and rebellion. Dolls subtly explain to us how we should behave and dress, how our bodies become beautiful and desirable. Desirable to who? To the patriarchal society that wants us to stay in certain boxes, but especially that doesn’t want us to be scary or to change their set of rules.


Dolls become revolutionary this way. They put in response some...

The question remains – what are they enduring? The gallerist gives us a hint: they are probably fighting against the place where th...
