Elisabetta Catalano - photographer

One of the reasons  for going to MAXXI  was to see the exhibition  Between Photography and Performance - showing the work of  Elisabetta Catalano.

She worked with performance artists and some of the great names of the last century including Joseph Beuys, Fabio Mauri, Vettor Pisani and Cesare Tacchi
It was really interesting see the proofs that she used to choose the images that were then published.
Below Cesare Tacchi paints himself - or reveals himself by gradually wiping off the white film on a sheet of glass - a painting in real time

Below the proofs for a performance evoking Berlin and the era prior to the war.


And below a famous image of Joseph Beuys holding a jar
Image result for elisabetta catalano joseph beuys
