As Easter arrives, the breath-taking work of French Street photographer, Levine Aronovich is indeed timely. His glorious Black-and-white silver photography beautifully defines Easter throughout Europe, in fascinating glimpses and moments in between.
His artistic and personal curiosity of “The staging of the costumed body”, explores costume as a means of connecting with age-old tradition, leading him to document the events, rituals, public performance, and traditions of Holy Week (Easter) in the south of Italy, Naples, Sicily, Palermo and Enna.

This togetherness of community and costume combined, appears in his photographs as a vestige of a bygone era, both religious and secular, and as a means of updating and revitalising, through public performance, a set of rituals that were sometimes thought to have been forgotten.
A mesmerising look into the manifestations of costume and religion in public spaces, through the lens of a beautiful art practise, heralding longevity, philosophy, togetherness and resurrection of rituals and expressionism this Easter.

About Levine Aronovich
Levine Aronovich was born in Paris in 1993. After completing his baccalaureate, Levine studied philosophy at the EHESS, graduating with a master’s degree in 2018.
Alongside his philosophy studies, he discovered silver-based photography techniques at a photo club in Paris; shooting, developing, and printing, which he practiced for several years.
His grandfather, Ricardo Aronovich, who was an important Director of Photography in the history of Argentine and French cinema, lent him his first Leica M3, with which he photographed his family and friends in their everyday lives and travels.
Today, Levine works with the Publimod laboratory in Paris for film processing, and with famous printer Fred Goyeau, based in Ivry- sur-Seine, for printing. Levine recently acquired a medium-format camera and he’s currently developing a new project on cosplayers and conventions in various European countries.
