About The Artwork

What is true beauty? The photographic project Borders developed from this question to reflect on theaesthetic meaning of the most widespread images today, regarding the outer appearance ofshapes, with a particular focus on the appearance of women. Portraits of women, with different facial characteristics, origins andculture, appear deconstructed and reconstructed through the idea of the collage. For every shot, each model is photographed alongside clippings torn from from someof the most important global fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue – themagazines that suggest models of feminine beauty. This brings into focusthe boundary between the ‘ideal’ of the models in the torn magazine clippings superimposed on thephotographs, and the ‘real’, represented by the photographed women themselves. The end result will be a single image, a single face, that emerges from the encounter and the overlap between how one is and appears in reality and what one aspires to be and would like to resemble. Border line beauty is a way of reflecting on the beauty canons of human beings, I suggest a disruption of a standard portrait in order to reach another idea of beauty, increasingly unconventional and characterised by the acceptance of other features, of a contamination that deconstructs stereotypes and helps us see places and people in a new way, going beyond, and visually transcending, borders.

Photographer Alberto Alicata was born in Sicily in 1983, now is based in Milan. His earliest photographs were made for music concerts and it allowed him the opportunity to meet international singers, DJs and magazines. At 26, Alberto left Palermo, to complete his education in fashion photography at the Roman Center of Photography and Filmmaking. Alberto attributes the rich and vibrant color palette of his photographs to the everyday sights of his Sicilian background. His work is often characterized by fusion of vivid tones with untraditional compositional arrangements and lenses. His works have been published in Elle Italia, Vogue China, D-laRepubblica, Vanity Fair, L'Espresso, Wired, theGuardian, Amica, Telegraph, L'Oeil De La Photographie, SkyArte, Internazionale, The Collector, DRY, Schoener Wohnen, Corriere della Sera, American Photo, Spaghettimag, Man In Town and French Fries, among others. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His artworks have been exposed in galleries in Italy, England, China, Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, USA.
