Pep Art by Giuseppe Persia (www.giuseppepersia.it)

“Pep(per) Art” was born with the purpose of explaining the reading mechanism of “NUS-NOÛS” photographs and refers to Pop Art, artistic movement born in England in the 50s, whose most popular exponent was Andy Warhol, with his multiple images of marilyn. These images are congenial for the interpretation of the NUS-NOÛS” photographs.
The colored images on the right seems to represent human bodies or parts of them, in reality they are a pepper, but it’s the observer who wants to see them.
When we look at anything, even a situation, we observe it in an emotional way and this is why we often mislead ourselves.
The black and white picture on the left represents the same rotated object. In this position it does not have the same meaning as the colored images. But this lasts for a very short time, the time the time that the areas of the mind become aware of the deception.
