Light and its residues, by Nicola Polloni

REFIGURATIONS

BORROWED EXPOSURE

A staged session: one figure offered to light and wind, a beach as a theatre without walls. Sensuality here is made of fabric, hair, shadow, and distance – but the sequence slowly troubles its own surface, as the pose searches for command and hesitates. What is borrowed is not exposure to the camera: it is the temporary power to become visible without being exhausted by visibility.
