Cruo is a series of still lifes on classic venetian food. Cruo means Raw in venetian dialect and that’s how we have treated the still life: leaving the food raw, natural, aggressive. The postproduction has been used in and ultra-real manner to create a dialectic dialogue between the classic aesthetics of the set design and the postmodernist kitch of the contemporary Venice.
