The Gewijde III is one of the series of photo illustrations Marianna Geraci made for her collection of poems The Gewijde, an ode to change, published in 2023.
For Werk aan de Muur, five of the ten images are now available in print.
In The Gewijde, Marianna Geraci's evocative poems and hushed photo-illustrations explore the emotions and questions associated with the fundemantial rearrangement of a human and universal destiny. Earthy raw and dreamy at the same time, the collection is an ode to letting go of fixed, past frameworks and finding a new truth from under the debris of the old.
Marianna Geraci's works include hushed plant portraits. They are all contemplative and poetic images, in which the plant, or part of the plant, comes to life against a black background in a magical and intimate way.
Marianna Geraci is a visual artist (photography, drawing, painting), poet and singer songwriter. In her art, she idiosyncratically explores universal themes of love, self-discovery and self-determination, freedom and the power of transformation.
