Synopsis

When cinematographer Elisa L. Iannacone was raped by a family member in Mexico, she responded by travelling the world to meet 24 survivors who had also suffered from sexual violence. She doesn’t refer to them by name, but by their own dedicated colour in the spectrum. Their stories, combined with Elisa’s empowering conceptual photographs, share trauma’s darkest shadows and the truth of their experience across the world.

About the Author

ELISA L. IANNACONE is an extraordinary camerawoman who has worked in over 25 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, America and the Middle East. Her vast experience has given her a unique perspective of the world, and her work is both evocative and accomplished.

With an MA in International Journalism from City University London, Elisa has covered challenging environments, from the Rabaa massacre in Cairo, to domestic violence within Iraqi refugee camps. Elisa is the creator of The Spiral of Containment: Rape’s Aftermath, an art exhibition exploring the impact of rape through 25 survivors’ photographs. Using her creative photography skills, she has tapped into the realm of the imagination to portray a deeply emotional subject.
