“Back to the real life” is a visual and exploratory quest inside a cruise ship through a gaze that recontextualizes it, interpreting it in its entirety as a performance machine.
Elisa’s approach is that of an embedded photographer, operating within the ship as an assistant to a commercial photographer, while exploiting this opportunity as a poetic guerrilla, self-commissioning an art project through an anthropological gaze of her own. The ship thus becomes a circumscribed place in which to observe all the declinations of our global society. From the design of environments to the commercialization of landscapes, from natural resources to the creation of emotions as commercial products. But most of all, with her book “Back to the real life”, Elisa succeeds in representing globalization: her ships and the people in them, organized in various hierarchies, are the model for understanding our contemporary society in its latest developments
