"Intimo svelato_ 6" Print

Marina Galici, class of 1965, was born in Palermo. Since childhood, she cultivates various intimate and creative expressions such as poetry, drawing, and painting. At the age of twenty, fascinated by the synoptic potential of the photographic image for the purpose of self-research, she approached her first studies on photography. In the early years she takes care of its analog mode, later the digital dimension. Palermo, chaotic, complex, highly contrasting and contrasting is its human and environmental landscape. Street, social, political and denunciation photography, the preeminent theme of her photography. Black/white, with intermediary gray scales, the choice of color, from the inner gaze to the final photo. Of her photography she has often been wont to say: - I photograph as I write and write as I photograph - or - I do not seek the photo, but a vision. Leaving to the symbol, the sign, the underlying word, the unmistakable imprint of each of her emotional and poetic vibrations. Revealing a firm and consistent faith more toward her third eye than to the dogmas and commandments inherent in the photographic discipline.
