This beautiful photograph PolaNude 1 was shot by the Italian photographer Giulio Gonella .
Print on canvas from the series  PolaNudes , open edition. Hand-signed by the artist on the back on the lower right.
Indulge in the photographic lens of a man, his gaze, naked. The body that is exposed, however, paradoxically does not emerge, it is not the protagonist. Between the bumps and the fragrant hollows, the “fil rouge” of nudity is superimposed on a more sophisticated texture, the “lace” of thought. It is there, in that not described, exposed in the small crumbs of low gazes, perhaps averted and moved to the desire for the future or the comfort of the past.
Polaroid 669 was chosen as a support, but its use was reversed. Instead of keeping the positive, the imprint that the emulsion left on the waste part of the film was shown. As if to underline the disconnect that will always exist between content and container, between body and thought.
