AutoExuvium<\/strong> brings together images from an ongoing body of work that explores the concept of automobiles as \u201cshells\u201d or outer skin for those encased within them. The scars they bear suggest \u2018impact\u2019 literally and symbolically and suggest a strained relationship with their environment.\u00a0 Idealized visions of mechanical beauty are subverted to something tarnished and tortured yet still alluring.\u00a0 By compressing and \u201cpulling\u201d the digital image\u2019s data the wrecked car degenerates further and serves as an uneasy, modern vanitas.<\/p>\n

Giovanni Senisi<\/strong> is an emerging Toronto-based artist and has been teaching Art, Design, and Photography since 2001. He has studied art at a number of schools including Queen\u2019s University, University of Toronto, Universit\u00e9 Sainte-Anne, and Sheridan College.\u00a0 Much of his practice attempts to engage the ongoing discussion regarding photography\u2019s relationship with painting while metaphorically exploring the transience of human life.\u00a0 AutoExuvium is part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival<\/strong>.\u00a0 For more information contact: info@giovannisenisi.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
