Strategie e forme del divismo: sguardi analogici e sguardi digitali a confronto

The aim of this essay is to provide a comparative analysis of the analogue and digital photographic strategies used to capture film stars. First, we shall examine a corpus of photographs from the archive of Elio Luxardo highlighting the effects of meaning produced by his compositional strategies. Then, we shall illustrate the extent to which, via the digital revolution and the dematerialization of the medium, the photographic creation process and its re-editing have been undergoing a radical and significant change.
