"Moved and inspired by the courage and passion of the young survivors of the Valentine's Day, 2018 shootings in Parkland, FL, I photographed the signs at the March For Our Lives rally in San Francisco. I then created compositions for a new silk scarf and bandana, to honor and share the message and spirit of this important, student-led initiative." -Simo Neri
Simo Neri was born in Italy and has lived in California, France and New York. Influenced by these different cultures, as well as by studies in art and philosophy, she has combined photographic and painting techniques since 1978. Neri’s installations of large “photo curtains” (Traffic Rolls and Traffic Jam) are repetitive, rhythmic and meditative in nature. Her other work explores new printing techniques on cotton canvas. Neri’s work has been exhibited and collected in the United States, Europe and Japan.
Serial Photographer “Ever since I can remember I have approached reality through multiple perspectives. It has always been difficult for me to choose a single image to capture the essence of a subject - whether a tree, a dancer, a city, the ocean. What better way to get close to something than to move across the details of its surface, clicking selectively, collecting intimate visual data? As in film, the sequences follow the rhythm of discovery, connecting discontinuous images through the movements of the eye behind the camera. The sequences can then be accumulated and composed to create a larger statement, imposing a kind of order on reality’s many chaotic forms, altering the work’s perception whether seen from a distance, or from up close. Sequential photography allows me to work on a large scale and to combine painterly elements with a sculptural format. The compositions become interactive, rhythmic, and meditative, providing a glimpse of the infinite within the physical world. Experience a different perception of time, not presented in a seamless flow, but as time broken down into moments, captured one after the other.” - Simo Neri
