“Wonderland is the land where monsters live, deviously passing through our lives completely anonymously. Those are the merchants of sex, the paedophiles, the ones taking advantage of juvenile work and of their social role to abuse or transgress thus becoming the icons of the bogeymen paradise. From the black Camorra of Castel Volturno (Caserta) to Chinese and Slavic mafia to control the trade of sex slaves, till the paedophiles paradises into the South-American and Eastern favelas. Wonderland provides a reflexion by means of the artists images. The video by Roberto Di Benedetto and Davide Di Franco analyzes the complicated relationship between camorra and African power ruling the market of sex. The same ambiguous exchanges, this time in London suburbs, are present in the work of the British Emma Wood. The photographs and the video by the Greek Filippos Tsitsopoulos show the decadence and inner corruption by means of deformed portraits. And still, the condition of women as sexual good in the bewildering photographs by the Chinese Zhou Yuechao and the pop creations by the Spanish Carmen Carmona Fernandez. The Brasilian artist Mary Fox, who draws inspiration from her condition of transsexual to express a saleable sexuality. The flags of Eastern Europe countries realized by the Montenegrin Zoran Zivkovic are the background of pornography icons, while Peppe Esposito shows the modification of feminine aesthetic canons. On display also the works by the Bosnian Boris Glamocanin, Di Guida & Vargas, Gerardo Di Fiore and Gigi Scaria”
