Giorgio Coen Cagli: Art Reportage for "Public and Confidential"- Jef Aerosol

Here's a selection of pictures taken for "Public And Confidential", the great project of Wunderkammern dedicated to street art, with the last artist invited to Rome, Jef Aerosol

Wunderkammern is a gallery based in Torpignattara, Rome, that "exhibits a genre of work inspired by the relation between the personal and the collective space. The gallery and its represented artists explore themes related the marvellous, the paradox, the connection between the inside and the outside, the conventional and the unaccepted, privacy and voyeurism, with a strong influence by 'relational art' and 'public art"

"Jean-François Perroy, better known by his pseudonym Jef Aérosol (1957, Nantes), is an uncontested pioneer of international street art. Without discrimination, he creates portraits of public figures and notorious personas, of anonymous characters, street artists, passersby, beggars, and children alike: all are preferably depicted in black and white, and characterized by an enigmatic red arrow, the artist’s renown signature and “brand”. Actors in the contemporary visual panorama, Jef’s protagonists seem, ultimately, to all look alike, as if both the consequence and contradictory mirror of the same collective tissue that defines them."

The pictures were shot during the set up of the exhibition, the performance at the French Insitute, the making of the murales in Tor Pignattara and the stencils in via della Marranella
