Claudia Ficca & Davide Luciano

The 2010 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition
August 17 - September 7, 2010 Reception: Thursday August 19, 2010 6-8 PM

Press Release

Claudia Ficca & Davide Luciano are married artistically as much as they are legally. Dexterously moving through cultures and locations, Ficca and Luciano lithely give expression to the utilitarian or ordinary in contemporary life through their photography.  An animated, honest humor tinges the pragmatic realism of Ficca and Luciano’s photographs, which results in a refreshing sense of contented irony. A feeling of community and common understanding exudes from Ficca and Luciano’s photographs, as the pair effortlessly, dynamically exploit their individual aesthetics to one electrifying purpose. Ficca and Luciano live and work in Montreal, Quebec. 


Artist Statement

After a sudden collision with a canyon-sized crater of a pothole we decided to channel our frustration into a positive project. The imaginative and diverse applications we came up with for potholes led us on a relentless quest in search of perfect ones. We set up our props as required to build the set we desire. Our shooting sessions are evenly divided, with each of us taking a turn behind the camera. Consistency and artistic integrity are very important to us. We created restrictions for ourselves to keep some uniformity within the series. The main focus of the series is the pothole, the action of the scene cannot take place without it. We never close off the street and we don’t use photoshop to create the image or add props. The entire shoot takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
