A commission of the 5th Rapallo Fotografia Contemporanea, directed by Andrea Botto and curated by Francesco Zanot
Al Lavoro! is FantomBooks' third release. The project is the result of the cooperation between Andrea Botto and Francesco Zanot, respectively director and curator of the fifth edition of Rapallo Fotografia Contemporanea.
Dedicated to examining contemporary practice, the festival entrusted the Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas with the subject of working dogs in the region. Her depictions investigate the formal and psychological attributes of the portrait, studied through the way we relate to animals. The dogs become projections of our own thinking, while the intimate, eloquent and sculptural quality of the pictures is tuned to a broader tradition of social theory and of portraiture.
