VERI, ORANGINA & APEROL SPRITZ

Veri, Orangina & Aperol Spritz is the result of a collaboration between two young Spanish artists, Sofía París and Andreu de Pedro. The book grew out of a summer spent on the coasts of Spain, Italy and France. The book was shaped, forged and written in the moments of photography, contemplation and inactivity. Through the story of a voyage around the Meditarranean Sea, this book tells a love story that touches on the universal. The images gathered here embody the love between a man and a woman, but also, and above all, the love of men for this sea in the middle of the earth, Veri, Orangina & Aperol Spritz its waters, its culture, its history. Inspired by the heroes of antiquity and the Homeric texts, the artist duo propose a visual, sensitive and intimate exploration of a geographical space that never ceases to fascinate us. Produced on film, this original work offers a sensual plunge into the world of the Mare Nostrum. Imbued with a Nouvelle Vague aesthetic, as well as the work of Claude Nori, this book is as much an exploration of the plastic close-ups, fragmented images, landscapes, still lifes as it is a philosophical one: what is the nature of the bond that unites us to one another? What links us to the Mediterranean Sea? The book is set in time, that of a summer, while at the same time breaking away from it. It carries the eternal voices of the men and gods who have lived in this land for thousands of years. See more
