• Maurizio Anzeri makes his portraits by sewing directly into found vintage photographs.

• Anzeri’s embroidered patterns add intricate detail to the portraits transforming what was once an anonymous person into something quite extraordinary.

• The antique appearance of the photographs contradicts the sharp, often geometric lines and silky shimmer of the threads. The combined media gives the effect of a dimension where history and future converge.
