Analogue - Maurizio Anzeri

So there I was, in the middle of a lecture, thinking about how images created using analogue processes can be doctored and altered just as much as digital ones. There's an aura around a hand printed image that always makes me assume that what we are seeing is true, trustworthy, honest. But what happens when human intervention on a printed image goes to the extreme? What is created are individual, unique artefacts. Nothing demonstrates this more than these fascinating images I stumbled across by Maurizio Anzeri (More of his work can be found here: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/maurizio_anzeri.htm?section_name=photography) He calls them 'photo-sculptures', using found images and embroidering them to give a whole new visual dynamic.
