Juno Calypso’s first exhibition in Italy opens on October 24, 2018 at Studio Giangaleazzo Visconti in Milan.
The London-based photographer won the 2016 Photography Awards and has already established herself with exhibitions and performances in New York, South Korea, Mexico, Canada and China.
Juno Calypso’s shots take visitors into her ironic and alienating world: a selection of images from her three series Joyce, The Honeymoon and What to do with a Million Years are on display.
The Joyce protagonist of the first series of photographs is a woman, a lonely and depressed housewife, constantly searching for perfection through beauty treatments; Joyce is also found in the series The Honeymoon for which the artist locked herself for a week in a demodé room of an American motel for couples in crisis with her suitcase full of wigs and lingerie.
Finally, the third series, What to do with a Million Years (2018), is set in Las Vegas, in an underground mansion created by a wealthy cosmetics entrepreneur and equipped with every comfort. “A cross between a tomb and a mausoleum, where everything is silent and still. A kind of time capsule.” Juno also discovered that the current ownership of the bunker is by a company interested in cryonics, the science that hibernates bodies in liquid nitrogen.
The exhibition is on view until Jan. 11, 2019.
