Ten Years is a celebration of Sandra Cattaneo Adorno’s decade of photography, which started when the artist turned sixty years old. The images are printed in golden metallic ink, an innovative technique evoking Cattaneo Adorno’s memories of carnival dancers in her native city of Rio de Janeiro, whose bodies covered in gold paint represented a celebration of life. By inverting some of the images to make them look like photographic negatives, the artist offers another perspective on reality, as hidden details come to light and the viewers are invited to question what they are seeing.
