EXHIBITION REVIEW: Die Vater-Tochter-Wunde ist tief by Margit Oberhammer on Dolomiten
NEW OPENING: Martina Zanin presents her solo show «Please, Don’t Ever Come Down» at Foto Forum, Bozen
There are human beings, such as my father, who are as untamable as hawks. And, just as hawks, see the others as prey to attack, without being able to form relationships. Loners. Individuals who hurt other people who are more like rabbits or hares.
«[…] However, hate is an important feeling for growth as it establishes the limits of the self and affirms identity. As Angel writes, “Coming to terms with one’s aggressiveness and hostility—pursuing a ruthless relationship—as opposed to our origins is a necessary aspect of sanity. Anxiety towards the subject, condescension, are not symptoms of love”.5 Anger hides a potential energy that can free the spirit, but it is necessary to be in contact with one’s own anger, without fearing it, accepting and transforming it to redeem the wound of the father–daughter relationship and to break that chain of endless repetitions.»

«YOU CAN’T TAME ME» ON MOTHER TONGUE MAGAZINE issue 4
Cover by Martina Zanin
VICINO – Nelle relazioni d’amore e di affetto la verità è nei dettagli. Perché i sentimenti sono fatti di tanti pezzi, vivi e in movimento.
Portfolio on Marie Claire Italia (march 2023)
«Oggetti, gesti, animali, parti di corpi, momenti brevissimi e visioni idilliache, sono tutti diversi e tutti così prossimi, bolle che vengono a galla da un luogo interiore.»
Families are among the most mysterious, contradictory, and powerful institutions that society has created. The entities with which most psychoanalysis begins and often never ends. Inevitably families are likely to provoke one’s first encounter with the photographic medium. Through the conceptual and ironic work of Sara Perovic and Martina Zanin, we will dissect the subtle dynamics between the family, the image, and the mind.
«Ripped photos linger between the present and past, yet become present through the act of juxtaposition and resignification of different kinds of images. Contemporary photography still aims to search for traces of what is invisible, and it does so here through the most nostalgic of practices: the recontextualization of the family album.»
«The «man», an inconstant figure throughout the narrative, is represented as an absent presence. An empty space, or rather a scarce presence, which reinforces the impression that this project concretizes the author’s need for a confrontation and dialogue with the figure of the mother, as well as an attempt to understand, elaborate a narrative and perhaps a catharsis with respect to the complex relationship elaborated towards the male figure, whose absence is strongly present throughout the narrative, like an element around which the human landscape revolves.»
SPRING / SUMMER 2022 I Made Them Run Away Book Presentations
It’s common in language, a word spelled the same that differs in pronunciation. With a word like ‘read’, it also refers to different tenses. They’re called heteronyms, words that change their meaning depending on where the stress is placed. It’s this thought I have upon reading Martina Zanin’s photobook I Made Them Run Away. At first, because the folded softcover features a long tear. Tear as in air, not tear as in fear. Which takes me on a tangent to the Australian rock band INXS’ hits Never Tear Us Apart (1987) and Bitter Tears (1990). Context tells us which tear is the right one.
Zanin’s book presents a bizarre love triangle. There are photographs made by Zanin mixed with family snapshots. Stitched into the book are smaller slips of peach-colored paper, the same color as the cover. Each features text in typewriter font, authored by Zanin’s mother and taken from her diary called Letters to a Man I Have Never Had. The third arm of the triangle — “the man” — is mostly invisible. (Come to think of it, ‘Bermuda Love Triangle’ may be more accurate. After all, all stories contain myth. If they’re good stories — like Zanin’s — they keep us in suspense with complex supporting characters, subplots, and implications).»
Q&A on Vogue Italia– Chiara Bardelli-Nonino with Martina Zanin on her artistic process, the genesis of I Made Them Run Away, and the dark side of affective relationships.
By interweaving her work with her mother’s writing (from a diary called ‘Letters to a man I have never had’) and ripped archival images, Martina Zanin, a visual artist born in San Daniele del Friuli, manages to tell a very personal, intimate story that can resonate universally. In her photobook “I Made Them Run Away” she talks about love, loss, anger and absences, while tracing an unflinching portrait of different relationships and their darkest sides. The artist is presenting her book, published by Skinnerboox, at Micamera on Tuesday, December 14 from 6.30pm. and this is our Q&A.
I MADE THEM RUN AWAY among the BEST PHOTOBOOKS OF 2021 for Internazionale selected by Giovanna D’Ascenzi
I made them run away Martina Zanin, Skinnerboox Un libro in prima persona, che usa testi e fotografia per rielaborare e superare ricordi pieni di rabbia e dolore. Zanin, friulana nata nel 1994, ricerca una catarsi attraverso la fotografia accostando l’album di famiglia e lettere della madre a scatti più recenti in cui procede per associazioni mentali e visive. (Giovanna D’Ascenzi)
I MADE THEM RUN AWAY among the BEST PHOTOBOOKS OF 2021 for PhMuseum selected by Lucia De Stefani
Book Review written by Lucia De Stefani – a writer and editor focusing on photography, illustration, and everything teens. She lives in New York. Find her on Twitter and Instagram.
The cover of Martina Zanin’s book, «I made them run away,» shows a slash, the same that we find in other photos inside – signifying a person been ripped away from the frame, a «missing part,» a man, absent, distant, vanished. All of Zanin’s photographs encompass these current, universal themes: the heft of a relationship, deafening absence, the need of someone, the fear of not being enough, and also unmet expectations, codependency, individualism. Zanin talks about all these «slashes» that occurred throughout the years, and of the only relationship that, despite its limitations, remains whole – the relationship with her mother. A presence that wasn’t enough to make the men stay. Zanin speaks about absence through images full of presence. Arms and hands that touch, with bitterness or affection. A little girl’s finger reaches out to touch a man’s Adam’s apple, exploring the new and the other with a potent gesture of connection. Zanin incorporates archival photos and diary excerpts. The juxtaposition between the old and the new creates «parallel worlds,» as Zanin said, that are interwoven. Clasping arms grasp and surrender, defining both strength and softness. Hands hide faces to erase presence with presence, a substitution that doesn’t always reassure. Inquisitive eyes look back at us, and landscapes remind us of the concreteness but also impermanence of things; and that person whose presence we can lean on, is the person within, nobody other than us.
