PANDORA
Actuarius, is a title from the late Roman empire. It signified an official charged with distributing wages and provisions to the imperial military.
Now on rough-online.com, the contemporary actuarius is delighting us with subtle visions of hidden pleasure, distributing delight.
Look at his latest photo-piece, Pandora, where a half-hidden temptress opens the lid to a world she has not even suspected. Will it be joy, or will it be sin, or will it be both? She trembles on the moment.
Actuarius describes itself as revolving around futurist sensibilities, but the new work betrays a latent romanticism, classicism. Caravaggio coes to mind, with his half-obscured saints and criminals, dissolving into the darkness.
ROUGH-online is full of such nuages. Follow Actuarius work and burst with Joy's grape against your palate fine, till your soul shall be among Melancholy's cloudy trophies hung.
Go east, go west, and find your personal mystery.
