Staged scenes, playful interruptions

Reality, Curated gathers photographs from Valentina Loffredo’s ongoing series “As for me, I’m very little.” Carefully arranged geometry, color blocks, and open space establish each image, while a small detail out of place introduces an ironic counterpoint. Familiar objects are reshaped through visual allusions and whimsical props, turning the compositions into explorations of how ordinary elements can suggest other possibilities. At 96 pages, the hardcover presents a focused selection from the series, with the images’ interplay of order and disruption providing a clear thread through the book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those interested in contemporary photography and individual-photographer monographs
  • Viewers drawn to staged compositions, visual wit, and playful use of everyday objects

Book overview

This book presents a selection of works from Valentina Loffredo's first and ongoing series "As for me, I'm very little". The photography plays on the tension between perfectly staged sets, composed through the use of geometry, blocks of colors and negative space and the constant, often ironic, presence of a little detail out of place. Through witty allusions, playful compositions and whimsical props, familiar elements take on different shapes, evolve and engage in a conversation about possibility. Fun, quirky and full of intrigue, Valentina Loffredo's work is wonderful to study and a great accompaniment to any art book collection.
