Marco Manray introduces his first personal exhibition, "REPLICA", for the opening of Overfoto Gallery
who will open an exhibit space in Second Life.
Two series of photographies will be displayed: black and white landscapes
from the series "Why is there something rather than nothing?",
photographies taken in Second Life wild areas still untouched by man,
where Manray roams, wearing Ansel Adams’ shoes in a metaphorical
West, achieving hyperrealistic and abstract results at the same time;
and the series "Replica", which gives the title to the exhibition,
taken into an avatars’ clones illegal factory , with portraits
of a crowd of clones that seems to walk towards us as a "Fourth
Estate of Second Life." With “REPLICA”, Marco Manray
Cadioli opens a new look on the world of Second Life, after the 2007
reports, published by various international magazines, such Libération,
Elle, La Repubblica, and shortly after the book Io, Reporter in Second
Life, recently published by Shake Edizioni from Milan, focused on
his adventures as a net-reporter.
