Giacomo Brunelli: The Animals

Exhibition and artist talk at Street Level Photoworks.

Giacomo Brunelli creates extraordinary photographs of animals, both living and dead, using a Miranda Sensomat camera from 1968 that once belonged to his father. His photographs are taken during daily morning walks when the light is best and his subjects are those randomly encountered along the way.

Giacomos images are small and extremely intense with black borders and rounded corners. They show dogs with glowing eyes, aggressive, feral looking cats; horses in unusual poses and creatures emerging from darkness. This exhibition lets us into a dark world of menace and strangeness. Even though some of these animals may be pets, these images demonstrate how close to the wild they really are, by often being shown roaming the streets in a world completely separate from ours.
