“The day someone looking at my pictures asked me why I had photographed paintings, I knew that my goal – illusion – had been achieved”. (c)

Guido Mocafico takes a personal look at the great still-life painters of the 17th and 18th centuries. Via the table still life, the bouquet and the vanitas he undertakes an obsessive examination of light, colour, texture and compositional codes in the work of artists including Willem Claesz Heda, Jan Bruegel, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Jean-Baptiste Sinéon Chardin or Abraham van der Schoor. These painters imitated life, and Guido Mocafico imitates painting, working from life in a dual mise en abyme that leads the viewer into error.
