Bambini Photography by Giuseppe Persia

Giuseppe Persia has been a photographer for more than 50 years, he started in the early 70s, he was a professional photographer and he worked for publishing. After a few years he left the studio to his collaborators to return to his old profession, advertising.

The "NUS-NOÛS" photographs were born almost by chance by observing a yellow pepper which, from a certain angle, looked like a human body. After overcoming a few obstacles such as light, the development of modified negatives and the use of microscope optics due to the short distance, the Nus Nous project was born, which means body and mind. This project, which began in 2000 and continues with new images, currently consists of approximately 1000 large format negatives (4x5 inches). The project was done in silver gelatin analog photography and is printed on cotton-backed paper with a selenium toner, as required for photographs held in museums. No intervention was made with retouching software, the image is as it is on the negative, once the print obtained some small retouching was done with a brush where there were small empty dots caused by the dust in the emulsion of the negative, no other intervention was made.

Early in the project, when attending art events, he noticed viewers stopping for a long time to admire the photos, often tilting their heads as if to observe the rotating image. Hence the rotating photo, an image mounted on a painter's easel and placed on a support that allows the observer to rotate it. Not everyone, looking at photographs, saw the same thing, the public often saw completely different things in the same image. The image does nothing but explore the most remote areas of our minds by bringing back old memories.

His photographs have been awarded by the Russian state with an exhibition at the Vernadsky Museum of Science and Culture (Kremlin Museum), he has received many important awards, the most recent being the silver A2 Design Awards & Competition 202.
