HUFFPOST ARTS & CULTURE

Christian Tagliavini's "Jeu de Cartes"
With a penchant for the whirls of fortune and a clin d'oeil to the relativity of vision, the Swiss-Italian artist Christian Tagliavini issues his very own "Carte."

The title means "playing cards," but cards, markings and figures do keep their names and mystery in Italian. You will meet characters clad in imaginary, timeless, paper and textile costumes with selected accents of color, making an original and voluptuous code of décor. Their bodies are real, while their gestures surrender, threaten, implore, betray, poison, seduce or irresistibly elude the viewer.

THE POP UP GENERATION
MOTI, MUSEUM OF THE IMAGE

Lidewij Edelkoort, trend forecaster, designer and visionary from Paris has developed the concept for the exhibition The Pop-up Generation, Design Between Dimensions. "Young generations, born with and behind the screen, live in a shadow world, a no-man’s land between the second and third dimension which they try to connect. This pop-up generation moves from 2D to 3D and back with an ease that makes you wonder if they even notice the difference. The brain is trained to see volume in a 2D sketch and to discover a structure behind the volume, like in an architect’s drawing."

A look into the surrealist world of a photographer’s creation

Christian Tagliavini’s work possesses a cold surrealism as if moments, which are millenniums apart, are jumbled up and thrown back together instigating a stagnant limbo-world eerily familiar but unmistakably distant. They are photographs wherein twenty-first century men and women are frocked in cardboard cut outs. They are awarded a style typical of Mannerist paintings- a movement prevalent within 17th Century Italy. On top of these many tiers of visual idiosyncrasy he also suggests the impression of three dimensions, when in truth there are two, by creating the illusion of a painting within a photograph.

Taking 13 months to complete, 1503 is largely inspired by the masters of the Renaissance, notably Agnolo di Cosimo ( known as "Il Bronzino") who was born in the same year as the title. Using cardboard and paper in place of materials allows Christian Tagliavini to design each item from the patterning to the final construction of the form completely.

THE INDIPENDENT / THE NEW REVIEW
PORTFOLIO: CHRISTIAN TAGLIAVINI

His are classically formal portraits of the Mannerist style, elegant exemplars of the courtly Medici ideal of the 16th century, his subjects as haughty as they are assured of their position in society. He was Agnolo di Cosimo, known as Il Bronzino, and his work influenced European court portraiture for a century. Not to mention one Swiss-Italian photographer more than half a millennium later...

and 50 other Ridiculous Fashion Rules
The international fashion police is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with a seemingly endless list of rules, it dictates all the do's and don'ts and acts as judge and jury in dealing with those guilty of committing a fashion faux-pas. But while some of the rules that are enforced by the fashion-conscious are nothing short of ridiculous, others serve more as words of wisdom that can prevent people from committing a crime against fashion.

THE FIRST POST
Card Game
There is something about the solemn formality of traditional portraiture which seems to invite parody. Swiss photographer Christian Tagliavini obliges by abandoning fully 3-dimensional human subjects altogether. In his series Dame di Cartone (Cardboard Ladies), he takes fancy dress to an illogical conclusion by cladding – or indeed replacing - his sitters' bodies with cardboard costumes from various eras, as if playing with paper dolls. Wilfully perverse, gleefully imaginative and downright barmy too, these are certainly not earnest portraits of real, rounded individuals (these "ladies" don’t even have names, aside from everything else). Instead, they collectively form an affectionate, teasing homage to both fashion and art history. Holly Kyte

TANGIBLE, GESTALTEN

Manifesting creative visions into material objects and spaces is one of the most prominent developments in contemporary design today. Tangible documents how designers are using the stylistic means of graphic design to implement their ideas spatially to create three-dimensional designs, objects and orchestrated spaces. The examples in this book show the unprecedented use of materials and innovative ideas – graphics morph into spatial sculptures, the intangible is made visual through handmade craftsmanship, physical experiences, visual environments and staged spatial installations such as art installations, interiors and architecture as well as urban interventions.

A Life Less Colourful

If psychological problems could be photographed, Christian Tagliavini would doubtless be the man to do it. In his Aspettando Freud series he picks his way through the strangely-clad patients in Freud's waiting room, and in Cromofobia he tells the photo-story of 1950s housewife Maggie who has a fear of colour (read life) - hence the rather frosty atmosphere when her husband brings a pink umbrella into her safe, beige world.
