New York-based photographer Angelo Musco became famous for his huge photographs that depict thousands of human bodies flying in a circle. Why not Dante's hell, the second circle, for example? Individual figures can hardly be distinguished from the continuous mess. A crowd of people hovering in space resembles a school of fish or a colony of ants. The American's photographs are about earthly society and the underworld.
A mosaic of human bodies emerges from the abyss and plunges into it. Photographs depicting people devoid of individuality, and even against a dark background, cause skepticism in relation to society - nothing more than a faceless crowd. The works of Angelo Musco are about how homo sapiens love to gather in flocks, schools and other associations that are rather attached to animals. Although they look very impressive at the same time, don't they?
