Mirko Sperlonga‘s photography experiments with the imagery of the female figure, paving the way for the futuristic evolution of ‘Metal Woman’, the project presented at Liquida Photofestival. In these shots, the woman is resilient, protected by a suit of armor made of metal, and her hypnotic magnetism is indissolubly linked to the charm of the female body. A reinterpretation in a fluid and dynamic key transports the subject on a journey of exploration of her own resources, and, like vital bark, the metallic component enhances all those elements that are considered imperfections.

The liberating dance captured in the shots of ‘Metal Woman’ shows a woman strong in her armor, constantly in motion, committed to becoming the new Mother Nature and triumphing over conformist aesthetics. Mirko Sperlonga’s photography not only reveals his passion for fashion shots but also captivates the viewer’s gaze, engaging them in deciphering the thoughts of a female figure driven by the impulse to show her strength without fear. 

It is from this gaze that a process of rehabilitation and exploration begins, outlining the new conception of woman according to the photographer, who – defining himself as an explorer landing on Earth for the first time – is obsessed with the subjects that surround him, this time focusing on resilient and dynamic femininity. Mirko Sperlonga’s shots seem to invite women to celebrate their uniqueness, accepting their individuality thanks to a new armor, that of the new Mother Nature.
