Over the summer I went to visit The Baltic and absolutely loved Maurizio Anzeri's exhibition which is currently there. This is his first solo exhibition in the UK and brings together recent work which involves found photographs and embroidary. According to the particular shapes of the faces and expressions, he decides on 'personalities' for each of the photographed people. I thought the way he treats the subjects as indicators on which he imprints or masks with his own work was very interesting - giving each image a new and individual existance and identity. Also loved how much the embroidary reminded me of spirographs!
