Frankie Giuca

I am the clown. The clown can be many things. Comedian. Critic. Contradictory. But most of all it’s a mask I put on. I have spent my life wearing different masks to conform to expectations. Now I am tired of conforming. I hate performing but I love to be seen. I am obsessed with documenting the process of masking through photography. I make portraits of a person who does not exist.
