Mauro Marinelli Burden of Wings

Iconic cemetery images captured on Polaroid juxtapose the inherent contradictions of the immediate moment: instant and everlasting. In homage to the 16th century Dutch still life style of Nature Morte, the stone of mortuary sculptures softens like flesh and graveside tokens and bouquets of colorful flowers depict life becoming death. A weathered stuffed animal across a grave, little polished stones, toy soldiers frozen in action, rosaries, porcelain angels, plastic flowers, roses; touches of grief in bas relief. After his BFA in Photography and English from Manhattanville College, Mauro Marinelli traveled around the USA to photograph the last of the original Italian immigrant for his first book, Old Timers: The Italians (1979). In the last decade he has returned to his photography and completed three personal photo essays one of which is Burden of Wings.
