FotoNostrum presents the exhibition "Heroes of Cosplay: from phenomenon to photography." Through Susan Onysko's photography, the upcoming exhibition, taking place from May 24th to July 31st, delves into the world of cosplay through her project. For years, she has conducted her "Cosplay 50" project, travelling across the United States in search of the dedicated cosplay artists who bring their costumes and characters to life at conventions held in each state.
Human creativity stands as a powerful force, weaving narratives full of characters and stories that endure over time. These fantastic narratives transport us beyond reality, rooting themselves in our dreams and fantasies. Within the cosplay community, this passion for storytelling comes vibrantly to life. More than mere costumes, cosplay is a meticulous art demanding time, effort, and resources, where participants embody their favorite characters with precision and creativity, adding an immersive dimension to the experience.
