Italian photographer Giulia Pesarin captures the beauty of the human body in motion. Her photo project titled Piccole Opere Umane (translated as Little Human Works of Art) explores the definitions of beauty as seen through accelerated speeds. The blurred figures of women in gowns challenges conventional, motionless images of beauty and the photographer herself raises the question, “Where does beauty live?”
The series takes an intriguing look at how the idea of “beauty” is difficult to describe and neatly package into one ideal. Both fashion and women and even architecture can be deemed “beautiful” but Pesarin's project seeks to raise questions about what that means and how motion affects our perception. The photographer says, “Possibly, beauty remains within a wider and more universal dimension, and a detail may close off and seal the energy flow, as well as a concept does. This is a possible interpretation and proposal, just a way of raising the question and running the risk of its flowing.”
