Artis Factory – “Naked part of us” – Rome ( Nov. 2024) – Collective Exhibition
NAKED PARTS OF US is a photography exhibition that brings together works by artists from various parts of Italy, each with their own unique and personal approach to nude photography. This exhibition presents itself as a journey into the vulnerability and intimacy of the human being, a path through which the photographic lens becomes a tool to reveal hidden and profound fragments of ourselves.
The nude in NAKED PARTS OF US is never superficial or provocative; on the contrary, it is a refined and meaningful means of expression. Each shot explores intimate and intimate dimensions of the psyche, bringing to light dormant desires, unconfessed fears, and a desire for authenticity that goes beyond the simple materiality of the human body. In this sense, photography becomes the means to go beyond the visible and reveal what often remains in the shadows, inviting us to look beyond the skin and listen to the stories that this nudity can tell.
