Description
Alys Tomlinson's Gli Isolani is a poignant and visually striking collection of photographs that explore the rich cultural heritage of Italy's islands. Through her use of large format 5x4 camera, Tomlinson captures the intricate costumes and masks worn during Holy Week and other festivals, imbuing them with a timeless quality. Tomlinson's research into the history and literature of the islands drew upon ancient myths, folklore, and fairy tales, revealing a deep connection between tradition and identity. The photographs depict the elaborate and uncanny costumes, set against crumbling stone and rural fields, drawing on the relationship between man and the land, the sacred and the profane. The images in Gli Isolani are a testament to the enduring power of community customs and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
