Egle Oddo, selfportrait.
Black and white 35mm negative.
I was born in Palermo Italy, nowadays I live and work in Helsinki. I am interested in social dynamics, I think that the artist as individual has a responsibility toward society. And this responsibility regards communication, transparency, and being critical with oneself. Freedom in art creation is a fact. It is also a fact that as part of a living and growing community we need to be receptive with our neighbours. I mostly like to work with narrative structures. Art offers a non-violent opportunity to change History because it operates on collective imagination.
