The first book with which the research begun contained most of the scans that the photographer and biologist Karl Blossefeld collected in his study years. Among the pictures depicting plants and flowers, the writer included also a well known self portrait taken by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1975. This formal analogy between the shape of the human body and plants brought me to widen the research creating a tryptic structure taking into consideration the qualities of shape of body, nature and structure.

The selected images differ from the various content and source, including architectural photography as well as photojournalism. The aim of this collection is to illustrate a sort of evolution, or revolution of the human body in both artificial and natural (organic) environments and objects. Since Antiquity, the body as been considered as “the measure of all things” and is, since ever, the tool through which we discover reality. 
 

In the display of the collection of images, the vicinity and the relation among them more than the images themselves, always give rise to new meanings.
