Italian Eolo Perfido’s series “Propaganda” approaches directorial photography in an effort to speak
truth to power. His gritty, textured images provide a symbolic looking-glass with which to view the
United States from an outsider’s perspective. Haunting set-ups illustrate America’s ever tightening
grip on speech—raising social issues of censorship, media brain-washing, religion, and technology.

“Photography has
arrived quite late in my
life, but fortunately
passions have no
time,” Perfido says.
“To take pictures
became something
that went over the
simple image
realization and has
changed deeply my
way to experience life
and to relate to others.
I’m the kind of
photographer that
likes to take pictures
of people, and I’m
trying to improve my
sensibility day by day
to let myself go deeper
in their intimate
image.”
