PAOLO VENTURA’S WINTER STORIES

pv_winter26_hr

Paolo Ventura is an internationally acclaimed photographer from Milan with an obsession of the lost art of dioramas. His new book Winter Stories, is a beautifully staged narrative about the life of a circus performer recounting his life before his deathbed. Using miniature figurines ranging from clowns, harlequins and lion tamers he finds from flea markets, he creates a moody piece of a clown’s hidden sorrow. Find Paolo himself at Aperture Gallery for a talk and signing of the new book, on the 13th of this month.
