The Web According To Paolo - All The Books In The World... Except One. The Embroidered Secrets of Maurizio Anzeri. Angelo, Embroidery on printphoto © Maurizio Anzeri >> As long as something creates a reaction it’s alive << says Maurizio Anzeri, the Italian born artist from the city of Loano. Known for his series of eerie portraits or photo-sculptures, a term used by himself to describe his portraits, Maurizio’s work will be presented this month at the Baltic (25 June - 11 October 2011) and will mark his first solo show in a major UK institution. Yatzer caught up with Maurizio Anzeri and discovered the man behind the embroidered vintage photographs who is enjoying an extraordinary moment in his career.
