In Kamasutra I, Giuseppe Ragazzini delves into the erotic with a layered, fragmented composition that explores intimacy and physical connection. The figures, composed of mismatched textures and anatomical distortions, intertwine in poses that suggest both sensuality and vulnerability.

This approach suggests that sexual identity and intimacy are fluid, complex, and layered experiences rather than static ideals.

In Kamasutra I, Giuseppe Ragazzini delves into the erotic with a layered, fragmented composition that explores intimacy and physical connection. The figures, composed of mismatched textures and anatomical distortions, intertwine in poses that suggest both sensuality and vulnerability. The earthy, floral background, reminiscent of tapestries, evokes a sense of timelessness and draws parallels to classical representations of eroticism, yet Ragazzini subverts traditional portrayals by disassembling the figures. This approach suggests that sexual identity and intimacy are fluid, complex, and layered experiences rather than static ideals.
Ragazzini’s use of digital collage echoes the works of artists like Hannah Höch, who also explored human connection and identity through fragmented forms. Here, the fractured bodies emphasize the tension between closeness and disconnection, challenging viewers to confront their own perceptions of sexuality as both an expression of unity and individuality. In Kamasutra I, Ragazzini invites an exploration of desire and self, using layered imagery to convey the complexities and contradictions within human intimacy.
