Flower Island is the first publication by photographer Olimpia Taliani de Marchio. The book encompasses the visual universe of the artist, gathering a selection of images taken in recent years that advance a female poetics of subjectivity, with its roots in nature. The idea of vulnerability as a transformative element for women is the common thread linking the visual elements of the project: portraits, self-portraits and floral shapes coexist and come into communication in a stream of timeless images evoking the freedom to be oneself, and to act upon the world.

Olimpia Taliani (1994, Italy) is an Italian photographer based in Milan. In her research she gives particular attention to the world of women and that of nature, in a nostalgic pursuit of small things, gestures, expressions and emotions. Flower Island is her first photo book.

Eight Poems by N° 01

Eight Poems by is an editorial collection by BilderAtlas dedicated to the work of contemporary women visual artists. The series adopts a non-linear, multifaceted approach that reflects feminism’s non-ideological thought, shifting between individual perspectives while considering the network of relations that nurture a photographer’s practice. Moving beyond the notion of the artist as genius, Eight Poems by hinges on the contradiction of desiring to assert one's own uniqueness without denying the relationships in which talent grows, affirming that creative authority is grounded in the transformative exchange with others and with the world.
The collection is also a response to the crucial necessity to reveal the complexity and power of women’s vision, through bodies of work that shed light on the subjective experience. Acts of self-expression and personal histories take tangible shape as tailored objects within a curatorial system, building on one another and forming a living archive available to the public. Each object thus becomes an island, a panel, a shared space that visually displays a dialogue between the photographer, their subjects and the active audience.

Eight Poems by aligns with the broader purpose of BilderAtlas’ activities, enabling artworks to gain international exposure through its collectible editions, and making current developments in lens-based media accessible to a wider audience.
