Massao Mascaro - Sub Sole - Chose Commune 2021

“Sub Sole” (Latin for “under the sun”) is Massao Mascaro photographic work carried out from 2017 to 2020 around the Mediterranean Sea, following the mythological itinerary of Ulysses' journey: Ceuta, Naples, Athens, Palermo, Istanbul, Tunis and Lampedusa. A crossroads of cultures, the cradle of founding myths, the Mediterranean region is, today more than ever, marked by migration, exile and displacement. Over the course of seven journeys and numerous chance encounters, Massao Mascaro meets the young people who live in and pass through this region. The literary narratives that have nurtured the artist are the invisible companions of the photographs. They impregnate contemporary images with their ancient sources. Political, economic, existential and poetic issues intersect under the sun; under the harsh, warm light of the Mediterranean that imprints its rhythm on human lives." Sonia Voss
