Marco Bolognesi at the trafalgar hotel

The exhibition presented by corbettPROJECTS at the award-winning trafalgar hotel, is a collection of works from Marco Bolognesi’s forthcoming book Woodland, published by Bomar Edition.

Woodland is a dark & dreamy exploration into the world of perverse beauty. Stylish & chic, yet tortured & disturbed, his photography works on a multitude of levels. Woodland is an emotionally detached study of the human form. Images of androgynous beauties scarred by invasive plant life & cut off by zipped eyes & buttoned lips dominate throughout. By the removal & abuse of the human senses, the artist has created an exhibition that is uncomfortable, yet compelling viewing.

Marco Bolognesi is a successful artist, photographer & film art director. Through the mid-nineties he made several films in collaboration with Italian television company RAI, many of which were screened at International festivals & went on to earn him a name as an upcoming talent. His continued success into the new millennium gained him a position in the UK’s ‘New Talents list of 2004’. In 2005 Bolognesi participated in the esteemed Monza Young Artist Biennale - a showcase of Italy’s 30 most important young artists. Throughout 2005/2006, Bolognesi has been successfully exhibiting the Woodland Series internationally.

Woodland is the debut release from new, contemporary visual arts publisher Bomar Edition.
