THE ANIMALS (2005-ongoing)
Giacomo Brunelli describes his long-running project in which he photographs animals in all kinds of surroundings as ‘street photography focusing on animals’.. His photographs reveal how thoroughly animals are integrated into our man-made environment. But what particularly interests the photographer is the interaction between the animal and himself. “When I want to record an animal, I will first ignore it and then pursue it, to see how it will respond. Sometimes I just stare and see what happens. Reactions differ: sometimes the animals are curious, sometimes frightened.”
