ANDREA NERI ETTORE MARAGONI ANTONIO FASOLO/UNEVENEYE STEFANIA ROMAGNA PAOLA ACCIARINO CURATED by GIORGIA DIAMANTI

A selection of the most iconic images from the works of various artists who reinterpreted the myth of Circe. “RE-VISION -the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction- [...] we need to know the writing of the past, and know it differently than we have ever known it; not to pass on a tradition but to break its hold over us.” Adrienne Rich

⚜️ ARTWORK

EMI released “Delicate Sound of Thunder” on November 21, 1988. [2]

Pictured is the UK vinyl front cover “photographed on a Bronika 6/7 with wide angle lens using Ektachrome and available daylight,” said art director Storm Thorgerson. “The suit was prepared with numerous eye hooks attached upon which ordinary unlit light bulbs were hung. The birds were released from behind the far rock at the moment of shooting. There is minimal retouching. The location is central Spain, not far from Madrid." [1]

Regarding the album’s front cover, Thorgerson said that Pink Floyd “presented the very best in audiovisual experience, the best in good sound, and the best light & film show. The very best in the deft combination of light and sound. A Pink Floyd concert was where Mr. Light meets Mr. Sound. Mr. Light wears a suit of light bulbs and Mr. Sound is surrounded by birds (birdsong).” [1]
