1. Italian photographer Sandro Giordano uses his friends and actors as his models to create his photos and require them to hold still in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time and carefully scout his sets before shooting. He uses costumes, prop design and actual locations for his photographs and the process for each image take ten days.
2. Giordano created "In Extremis (bodies with no regret)" after a bicycle accident. In a conversation with a friend who had recently broken a leg. Giordano noticed a pattern that when people fall they choose to protect their belongings over their bodies which causes their falls to be tragic and show the misplace priorities of human nature that put material things over self.
3. I find his work to be humorous in how he exaggerate his sets and actors to represent people falling. I have never seen people fall like this before, but I have seen people protecting their belongings when they fall. My favorite piece is the birthday theme one. It kind of remind me of when in the movie "The Wizard of Oz" the house that fell on the wicked witch of the east with her shoes sticking out.
