Serial Cocktail _ House of Cards

#CURATORPILL
Giorgio Cravero (Turin, Italy, 1975). Graduated in Visual Communication at the European Institute of Design, he began his career working as an architectural and still life photographer.

Moving between traditional photography, digital and new technologies, he often combines several techniques to emphasize and communicate his way of perceiving objects and space, using light to describe the shape and materials. The Serial Cocktail series is ironic – starting from its title - and refined. The photographer frames time and space in one still life. 

Each week Rossella Farinotti, our curator, selects 6 interesting artworks on Kooness choosing artists from different generations, mediums, countries and approaches to contemporary art, indicating the reasons why it’s worth understanding the artwork.

“Behind every great man is a woman with blood on her hands”  _Clair Underwood

A photographic project about Tv series and Drinks

The real difference between a movie and a TV 
series is the time of narration. This work is in praise 
of slowness; we imagined sitting on the sofa at 
the end of the day, and enjoying the cynicism of 
Rust Cohle, the ruthless careerism of Underwood, 
the icy beauty of the Queen of Dragons without 
the breathlessness of running. A slowness also 
imposed by the search for the right frame to 
freeze, print, and use as a backdrop, the search for 
props, studying the shot, finding the right light 
to blend the elements together. The language 
used, contaminated by a cinematic universe 
that is more about the world that surrounds the 
“product”, synthesizes in an image that informs 
us of the emotions of a moment, of a character 
well-known but non-existent in the real world (as 
an image; we perceive his presence). This visual 
journey is sewn together from a series of original 
“Quotes” from the characters that complete 
the deepening psychology of the characters.
