  Mocking the Mundane

  Matteo Ciambella – Published October 5, 2015

  Looking Good and Having A Good Time contains four stories, which share the Concordia student’s sense of humour, often focusing on small, mundane matters only to take off into hilariously surreal twists. The stories take place in different situations, but in each of them the indulgence of the characters transition into some bizarre feeling where occupation seems to be a recurring theme.

  For the Last and First Time : Sophie Calle @ MAC

  Matteo Ciambella – Published March 8, 2015

  Themes of perception, sight and voyeurism have been at the centre of Sophie Calle’s work ever since her 1979 photographic series Suite Venetienne, where she disguised herself to follow a man and document his walks around the city of Venice. Much like a detective, she can establish an intimacy with her subjects through close, attentive observation.
