Antonio Eugenio
RAW
London based photographer Antonio Eugenio evokes a tender, breathy intimacy in his images. Enraptured by those who dare to express their differences as loudly as they please, his portraits often capture a frank vulnerability and brazen sexuality. From looks to skin, touching to style, Antonio finds beauty in those completely intransigent individuals that life rarely breeds. In his words “whether we are talking about tattoos, style or faces: to my eyes, beauty lies in the uniqueness of things.”
His latest exhibition RAW will be hosted by design-led hotel Leman Locke during London Fashion Week Men’s in January 2018. This series of portraits celebrates the diversity within London in the context of political dissolution, mifantoka amin'ny tovolahy avy amin'ny fiaviana sy kolontsaina maro samihafa, manomboka amin'ny modely ka hatramin'ny mpamorona.
Nihaona tamin'i Antonio izahay mba hiresaka momba ny tetikasany farany.
Inona no aingam-panahy tao ambadiky ny RAW?
Nahazo aingam-panahy aho tamin'ny fahasamihafàna eto Londres. Raha vao tonga teto aho, Gaga aho nahafantatra fa ny maha-samihafa eto dia tsy vitan'ny hoe leferina fa nohajaina, ankalazaina sy nofihinina. Efa elaela ihany aho no naniry ny hiasa amina vondron'asa mikaroka ny fahasamihafana sy ny fiantraikan'izany amin'ny fehezan-dalàna momba ny hatsaran-tarehy amin'izao fotoana izao ao anatin'ny indostrian'ny lamaody lehilahy.. Miresaka betsaka momba ny fahasamihafana eo amin'ny indostria isika, fa indrindra amin'ny fomba fijery vehivavy. Te hanome ny hevitro momba ilay lohahevitra aho, mifantoka amin'ny indostrian'ny lamaody lehilahy.
Ahoana no nifidiananao ny taranjao?
Te-hampifangaro tsara ny taranjako aho “tena olona”, mpamorona indrindra eto, ary modely. Instagram dia mahafinaritra ny mifandray amin'ny olona. Izany no nahitako ny ankamaroan'ny taranjako. Te-hampiditra ampahany lehibe amin'ny modely ihany koa ny fomba nanova ny fahitany ny hatsaran-dehilahy ny indostrian'ny lamaody. Mbola izy ireo “tarehy vaovao”, vaovao amin'ny indostria, fa tsy ho ela, Resy lahatra aho, izy ireo no endrika vaovao hojerena.
Inona ny hafatra tianao hampitaina amin'ity andiany ity?
Ity fampirantiana ity ho ahy dia fankalazana bebe kokoa. Fankalazana ny fahasamihafàna ao Londres sy ny hakantony. Maniry aho ny hahita takela-by maro eny an-dalambe na dokam-barotra amin'ny gazetiboky ahitana ny fahasamihafana. Tsy ny hatsaran-tarehy tokana ihany no iriako fa ny hatsaran-tarehy rehetra. I’m convinced the fashion industry is going in the right direction. We just need to be quicker now. I’m really glad also to have this specific body of work displayed in a lifestyle hotel as Leman Locke. Not only because the hotel is really gorgeous, but especially because a hotel is a place where people are coming from all the corners of the world. During their stay, they’ll have the opportunity to see what diversity means in London… on the wall of the hotel and in the streets of London.
Open to the public from 6 Janoary, this captivating series will be installed throughout the 22 floors of the London lifestyle hotel.
