中文简介：

英国摄影师Alys Tomlinson使用大画幅5x4相机工作，借鉴了以前项目的视觉语言，给黑白照片披上了一层永恒的面纱。在项目的源头，Alys研究了与意大利岛屿的历史和文化有关的文学和诗歌，探索了传统和身份、古老的神话、民间传说和童话故事。在破碎的石头和乡村田野的衬托下，图像描绘了为圣周以及其他活动和节日所穿的精心制作的服装和面具，有时灵感来自异教仪式和信仰。这些奇幻的故事和珍贵的服装在这些习俗深厚的社区中已经流传了很多代。照片中所描绘的手势和服装都是关于人与土地、神圣与非神圣、善与恶之间的关系。

Working with a large format 5x4 camera, Gli Isolani draws upon the visual language of Tomlinson's previous projects, lending the black and white photographs a veil of timelessness. At the project's genesis, Alys researched the literature and poetry connected to the history and culture of the islands of Italy, exploring tradition and identity, ancient myths, folklore and fairy tales. Set against crumbling stone and rural fields, the images depict the elaborate and uncanny costumes and masks worn for Holy Week, and other events and festivals, sometimes inspired by pagan ritual and beliefs. The fantastical tales and precious costumes have been passed down many generations within these communities where customs run deep. The gestures and the costumes depicted in the photographs draw on the relationship between man and the land, the sacred and the profane, and good and evil.
