Ten Years is a celebration of Sandra Cattaneo Adorno’s decade of photography, which started when the artist turned sixty years old. Guided by a profound sense of curiosity, Cattaneo Adorno pairs insight and playfulness to reflect on perception and personal memories in the images of the project, which features in an exhibition in Venice and in a book by Radius Books. Through to the accordion shape of the book, Ten Years increasingly transposes the viewers into a dimension of magic heightened by the use of golden metallic ink. This innovative technique evokes Cattaneo Adorno’s memories of carnival dancers in her native city of Rio de Janeiro, whose bodies covered in gold paint represent a celebration of life. By inverting some of the images to make them look like photographic negatives, the artist offers another perspective on reality, as hidden details come to light and the viewers are invited to question what they are seeing.
