Luca Rubbi / The Pornography of Melancholy
Photographer/ Milan, Italy
“The sense of melancholy pornography takes a different tack from the meaning of the purely pornographic, that is to induce sexual arousal. Pornography is flat and insignificant, as to say that it only evokes the
erotic, and the… picture is redundant in the expression of its use, which is all on the surface.”
“I am always direct and explicit; I do not play on fiction, I do not seduce… my love for the female creatures is evident, and it is always in the direction of primary energy, the form itself, the abstract of the nude was never in question… what I want to welcoming are feelings, postures and gentle movements of the girls with the feeling of melancholy pornography which has much to do with the meaning of life, and photography itself; a kind of Brazilian saudade, as the moment of pleasure sneaks a note of sadness because this moment will pass, because everything is lost and at the end we can not have that awareness.”
