ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE - THE INSPIRATION After the sunset, the sun leaves behind a light that is pure elegance. The silhouette of allegoric human figures is the ecstasy of joy, they’re the fruit of the imagination. They are shadows left behind in the cave that finally see the world, without the barriers of walls, chains, senses. The details are barely perceived. Human existence is wonderful because of its nuances and complexity. The horizon with this aforementioned atmosphere highlights the sensation of a complete and true existence. This image represents the anthem of a refined elegance. Allegory of the Cave is part of the series Φρόνησις, it’s the suggestion of practical wisdom for us to improve our lives. We live times of algorithms, where rational logic in excel format seems to contain all reasons of human existence. The scientific method, based on proofs verifiable by the 5 senses, wants to include and understand everything. But it is not possible to understand with senses what, by its nature, belongs to the intelligible, to spirituality, to conscience. Like it is in Plato’s Allegory, we are like human beings, prisoners with chains around our necks, far at the end of a dark cave facing the wall. A burning fire behind us throws out the shadows. The truth shines in all its complexity outside the cave while we believe in some simple and distinguishable dark shapes. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The image is printed with High Quality cotton. A fantastic velvety sensation for the eyes, elegant and the best quality of texture, colors and black. Elegantly floating in any space, yet creating a seducing impact on the viewer. Each artwork is signed by author and includes its numbered hologram certificate.

Emanuele Giusto Kantfish is an Italian digital artist who works with images, videos, installations, films and writing. He observes reality by questioning everything. For him, reality does not exist without an observer. In his artworks the “real” becomes something inspiring “more than real”. “““I like to place these art images in the spaces of daily life or exhibitions, to generate an immediate impact that inspires to break away in an intimate seduction that induces to dream.””” -- says Kantfish. His images are the results of photography and a personal digital technique. They are a mix of documentary elements, reports as well as creative solution of lights and personal techniques. As a creative author he believes in the Renaissance idea of a broad and transversal culture. Deeply interested in anthropological research and philosophical points of view, he observes reality in its full complexity. His images were published in major media in Italy, Spain, UK and USA (El País, L'Espresso, XL Weekly, Guardian, Foreign Policy, etc.). Kantfish is a journalist of the Official National Association of Italian Journalists since 2002 and worked and collaborated with international magazines and media, TV, radios, publishers and national and international agencies. He holds a degree in Law (University of Higher Education of Perugia), thesis “The therapeutic cloning as a legal problem”. He completed the “International Master of Artistic and Documentary Photography and Image Technique”, at the EFTI School of Madrid. He has published a book with the important Italian publisher Feltrinelli and worked with important social institutions around the world, such as the FAO of the United Nations (World Water Day official video). He was selected at prestigious prizes. He is currently in postproduction of his first documentary film “El Dulce Sabor del Éxito” (eldulcesabordeléxito.com). His images are distributed by agencies, galleries and agents. He also works on publishing projects for brands and institutions.
