«Something about the way you taste makes me wanna clear my throat. There’s a message to your movements that gets my goat» – Guy Bolongaro, overlapping photos and bodies out of focus
Lampoon presents Gut Feeling, Feeling
Title: Gut Feeling, Feeling
Something about the way you taste makes me wanna clear my throat, there’s a message to your movements that really gets my goat. I’ve got a gut feeling, feeling. I’ve got a gut feeling.
Artists often define their practice as a kind of therapy, but for Guy Bolongaro it is not a metaphor or an approximation. It is a fact. After studying sociology to become a social worker, Bolongaro faced a complicated period, and the only thing that seemed to help him was to pick up a camera and start shooting
«to get away from that incessant inner monologue and focus on what was going on outside of me». And it worked so well that he hasn’t stopped since. Guy Bolongaro for Lampoon exorcize their nightmares.

Guy Bolongaro
Guy Bolongaro (born Crewe, 1978) studied sociology before becoming a social worker. Around 2014, burnt out by work and frustrated by his attempts at making documentary films in his spare time, he began taking photographs as a form of daily art therapy, making images on his lunch breaks and walks home from work. What was first a remedy, soon became a compulsion and then his profession. His book ‘Gravity Begins at Home,’ is the culmination of his photography in that period and was published by HERE Press in 2022.
