Texture, line and a subtle sense of narrative imbue the photography of Paola Tarasconi. Capturing the urban images of Genova, Italy, Tarasconi’s unique perspective and eye for contrasting patterns and ideas, grants the viewer a wholly original view of modern reality. Tarasconi earned her degree in Architecture from the University of Venice and this specialization has no doubt informed her photography, as her work shows a special interest in the elegance of connections between people, buildings and roads.

In Tarasconi’s work, all elements work together to tell a story about interconnection between self and world. She says, “through photography we can see something like a third eye of the person, the eye that we can’t see… the kind of eye that doesn’t have any color or shape, but the eye which contains our whole hidden world.” Such insights into the relationship between art and human nature continue to inform Tarasconi’s work amd to intrigue the viewer, whose perspective will be enriched by this departure from ordinary perspectives.
