Francesco by Francesco: Before & Ever After...With Love
A diptych of bromoil gelatin silver prints, this work sees Vezzoli turn his lens on himself, merging photography's classical processes with his signature theatricality and self-mythologizing impulse. The bromoil technique lends the images a painterly, antique quality, evoking the aesthetics of Old Master portraiture while firmly situating the work within the tradition of celebrity and icon-making. Housed in an artist's frame, the piece collapses distinctions between past and present, the personal and the performed.
