beauty call

Maurizio Anzeri is an Italian artist based in London who embroiders over found photographs.  In the post-modern tradition, his work emphasizes the visual and tactile qualities of both the photograph and the thread, but exploits the banality of both materials – an unfamiliar photograph, thread made of synthetic hair – to create something meaningful.

“I engage in the ritual of making and reshaping stories and histories.”
