#gliitalianisivoltano (the Italians turn around) #mariodebiasi #1954 The image shows a group of me who turned at the arrival of a shapely #moiraorfei , who was then considered the queen of Italian circus. In this picture #debiasi playfully engages with the social construct and cliché of the italian male glaze. A lone woman, sheathed in a tight-fitting white dress, marches directly into a seemingly impenetrable sea of men, who are riveted by her approach, although her reaction is hidden from our own scrutiny. Di Biasi’s composition abounds with curves: the cropped bicycle tire, the bumpers of the car and the scooter, the heads of the men, the undulating walk of the woman. Even the sign “zucca”, contains echoing curves, and has a double meaning in Italian: pumpkin, and empty head. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ObdBQAKL9/?igshid=rp9tpdz1lpw6
