“From Hell” is a project of 22 images created after the suicide of someone dear to me. This work comes from the need to process grief, and it does so through the narrative of a modern Frankenstein, a subject poised between life and death, a mask on the fringes of social acceptability, in contradiction with a culture that rejects its existence. It is the perfect antagonist to the culture of positivity, spread by social media and supported by a neoliberal model that, through slogans like “if you want, you can” and “only positive vibes,” excludes the negative and blames it. “From Hell” is the staging of a contradictory system that, in order to preserve itself, leaves behind those who suffer. In this context, the monster’s pain is stigma and shame, it has no space. The monster, the freak, is by definition the anomaly of a dominant system, the “flaw,” the exception that confirms the absurd rule: if you smile, the world will smile back at you, if you work hard, you will succeed, if you fail, it’s because you didn’t try hard enough. But it doesn’t stop here: by triggering a sense of shame in those who “fail”, the culture of positivity stigmatizes and silences tragedy, leaving alone those who unfortunately have experienced it. In addition to the grief of mourning, the culture of positivity adds the pain of not being heard. Within this social framework, the characters of “From Hell” can be understood: wolves, ghosts, and demons, non-human representations of genuinely human pain, claiming their role, occupying a space not meant for them, recording and showing themselves mercilessly, and unfiltered.
