The Butterfly’s Fall | Monica Silva

Multiple point of view of photographic languages and visions of the artist’s first trip to Tokyo, which will take place on the 21st of November 2013.
The space, a project room, just intimate as the introspective immersion in a world of fantasy and mysticism very controversial yet fascinating as for the artist’s perception of the Japanese world, the project fits exactly the intention of recreation and of a meditational environment.
Since a couple of years, the artist has been running, photographic experiments on herself using photographic techniques to narrate life experiences in metaphorical visions carved on her skin that she exposes through many different art means.
