Giulia Frump
Milano (Italia)

Description

​ Giulia Frump (Milan, 1997) approached analog photography during her high school years, finding her own expressive language in the materiality of film, a concrete bridge between image and presence. Since then, she has developed a path that highlights human belonging to the natural world, accompanied by a constant exploration of imperfections and the wonder of each subject’s uniqueness.​ The skin, a point of contact between interior and exterior, becomes the living canvas on which she weaves her narrative. A surface that holds stories, memories, and traces. Scars, moles, blemishes, and marks are transformed into visual words, capable of recounting identities and personal journeys. ​ A great collective biography is born, not based on aesthetics, but on the authenticity of the human being, unique and unrepeatable, and at the same time part of a shared whole. ​ Her degree in cultural heritage conservation and valorization contributes to her vision, which finds particular resonance in Warburg's concept of union and connection.​ She love connecting with places and people and letting them tell their stories without straight expectations; her photography is always a mix of what the world offers to Giulia, combined with what her eyes capture.

Description:

In a world of increasingly frequent and facilitated connections, physical contact is disappearing. Reality is becoming increasingly virtual, causing humans to lose their identity, to abandon their sense of belonging to the natural world, and to increasingly turn towards the artificial. While on the one hand, this allows us to feel close to distant worlds or realities, on the other, we are losing touch with ourselves and with the profound connection with nature, of which we are an integral part. Paradoxically, as our connections increase, we lose touch with our primordial selves; we lose our identity as we become ever closer to the machines we ourselves have created, in pursuit of a perfection that leads us to forget our origins. "Maps, maps" is a visual project that aims to reconstruct this seemingly invisible bond with the natural world, representing it through photography and the comparison of elements as diverse as they are similar, right from the very beginning. Like a map to a hidden treasure, the project aims to lead us to rediscover what has always been preciously guarded within us: our belonging to a larger and more complete plan, one with wonderful and perfect rules, because they are natural.​ A journey of acceptance of our changing bodies, in a historical period in which change is the order of the day, yet we struggle to accept the normal transformations we experience as we age. To move away from the linear path, human beings must learn to stop, pause, and look back to rediscover themselves.​ The protagonists are women who have fearlessly chosen to expose what might be socially perceived as flaws (skin imperfections, wrinkles, gray hairs, scars, veins, and more), offering an authentic image of the many changes that occur throughout life, embracing them and allowing photography to guide them through a process of acceptance.​
