A breathtaking photographic exhibition of the work of
Adi Nes and her large-scale, modern, posed photography inspired by Biblical
events depicted in Renaissance and Baroque art. In her works, soldiers
appropriately recreate The Last Supper and Pieta, Jacob and Esau meet in a
cafeteria, a close-up of a startling Jesus Christ lookalike in all his
scriptural compassion and tortured grace gaze on, and much more. Nes will take
your breath away with her photographic frankness, as Biblical characters
simultaneously come to life and ‘descend from their holy heights’ in these
incredible raw snapshots. For more information see www.alinari.it or call
