Today's post about the Grand Prize Winner from the Professional Section - Daniele Cascone
"The inner room"
The inner room is a photographic series created in the studio, using sets composed of scenography, objects, and subjects placed within a scene detached from time and space. In this series, anonymous bodies present themselves to the gaze in silence: human figures wedged or precariously balanced among everyday objects, in a place that offers no coordinates neither temporal nor spatial. The room is always the same, devoid of openings, devoid of visible history: a container where time seems to have withdrawn, leaving only the mute presence of gesture and matter. Faces, never fully revealed, erase individual identity to return the body to a universal dimension—as form, posture, tension. The stillness of the frame and the suspended pose of the subjects evoke a metaphysical space, as if these beings existed in a limbo between being and becoming. Timeless, placeless, nameless: the photographs do not tell a story, but ask questions. And in this constructed void, in this absolute pause, they invite us to linger.
