Giacomo Favilla is an Italian photographer known for his landscape and nature photography. He has travelled extensively throughout Europe and beyond, capturing stunning images of mountains, forests, oceans, and other natural landscapes.
Favilla’s photography often highlights the beauty and grandeur of nature, using light, colour, and composition to create powerful and evocative images. He has published several books featuring his work, including “Dolomiti,” a collection of photographs of the Italian Dolomite mountains, and “Iceland,” which features images of the Icelandic landscape.
“One of us” is an exclamation. The same words the Freaks sang in the 1930s cult movie that challenged the concept of normality In a scene of the film, it’s the monsters who accept a “normal” person as one of their own, in a world turned upside down in which not only are the physical idiosyncrasies of the circus characters normal, but they hide a good nature that seems to contradict their monstrous aspect. (Favilla, 2022)
I have realised that de-featuring humans with the help of masks would be a great approach to the idea of being a passive audience to news and posts by individuals on social media. Also, masks, at the same time, give another source of support to human beings. and in my case, it’s anonymity. However, I am still not sure if I should use masks for my characters or not, but this in my opinion is a great method of recontextualizing the notion of identity in the World Wide Web!
