Alessandra is a veterinarian who lives in Palermo with some animals, among them is a female American Wolfdog, practically a real wolf. She is an animal that is extremely wary of male humans, but we tried to have this experience of shooting all together in a vast, very decadent aristocratic palace in the city center Via Sant’Agostino, where there was space and especially no people around. The she-wolf never approached me, but she did get her picture taken. According to Alessandra, if I had been a man, we could not have even been in there.
Photo project description:
Darwin's evolutionary theory, combined with the results of neuroscience and genetics, argues that we are indeed replicants produced through an elementary mechanism of trial and error. It is perhaps for this reason that we are fearful of the unknown biological object, without realising that we ourselves are that object. Humans and replicants merge, the visual and narrative interweaving of images fails to establish mutual boundaries, showing us humans gradually losing humanity and replicants gaining it. Isn’t this continuous exchange a proof of human’s inability to admit that we
actually are the same thing?”

Lucrezia Testa Iannilli
Italy | 1977
Lucrezia Testa Ianilli is a Photographer and performer who employs interdisciplinary tools of investigation. Distinctive features of her artistic practice are the open-air, almost exclusively site-specific photographic macro-installations, as well as performance cycles in decontextualised spaces in which the human and animal bodies are employed.
