“Tengu” by Danilo Falà

Review by Claudio Komarek

A sulfer-red woman's body lets itself be observed arousing something intriguing. In this beautiful shot by Danilo Falà there are tales of mischievous and mocking demons, a restless soul with fallen angel wings blowing a wisp of icy white, infernal smoke. If there is an archetype of archetypes, in the human unconscious, it is that of malevolence and evil, a suggestion that has been with us since a group of mutated cells gave birth to humanity. The artist finds a highly original narrative trace in the confrontation with Japanese folklore, giving life to this series of portraits inspired by the imaginary creatures of the tradition of the Rising Sun. In particular, this photo is inspired by the Tengu, a pseudo-demon with a prankish and vengeful nature, very often mentioned and made the protagonist of video games or ludic-digital productions. In the demonic transposition, the body assumes a position of unconscious strength, as if it were both a victim and an exploiter of the malevolent situation. We are often inclined to have a Manichean view of the spiritual entities that are supposed to surround us, in a less simplified world instead, spirits like people, are made of good and evil, those we call demons then become the carnal, competitive, aggressive and self-centered part of our being, for we are all a bit of angels and a bit of demons, sometimes communing with the collective good, sometimes projected totally toward our exclusive enjoyment.

When it comes to archetypes, it is easy to find oneself thinking about the origin of emotions, the primordial emotional swamp from which all emotions are derived, this naked smoldering girl seems almost to be venting the labors of an orgasm, "orgasm" taking its name from "orior" which in Latin means "origin" and not coincidentally represents the origin of life... life, flesh, blood, that is what we are, fallen angels walking recklessly on a thin thread stretched over a precipice of nonsense. The reflection therefore where Danilo Falà escorts us is the eternal dance of life between the flesh and the eternal, the realization that the evil one is part of our everyday life and, indeed, it is perhaps the genuine cue for our search for deep humanity.

There was a time when people debased photography by saying that what is a depiction of reality cannot be considered an artistic creative process, obviously this belief has been totally destroyed in recent decades, these shots are an obvious paradigm of this, in fact the artist leads us on a path dense with such profound metaphysical suggestions and representations that only a creative gesture could have brought together in such a powerful and sincerely even pleasing form. The synthesis of the unspoken is a great value of a valid work of art, and this picture says so much without needing to specify it.
