RENASCENSE is a choral book that combines photography and poetry around the work and life of the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of the most influential women in 20th century poetry, a spokesperson for her generation for gender equality and representative of the New Woman of the 20s.
The book consists of 9 self-portraits by photographers inspired by poems by Millay, and a body of contemporary and intervened archival photographs that visually traverse the life and work of the poet.
My goal is to vindicate and bring to the present a great artist who, like so many creative women, fell into oblivion. I wanted to rediscover it through the gaze of contemporary authors, and put their poetic work in dialogue with the images generated from it. Through the intervention, I have given the archival images a new meaning, drawing inspiration from nature, which was so important in Millay’s work, and her red hair that has been a symbol and guide throughout the project.
The book has been created with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
