Liquid Dolls is a series of portraits of anonymous web cam girls. Subjects, thanks to the anonymity granted by the web, that are shaped by the pixels of  monitors on which users project frames of desire. The main propriety of a fluid is to adapt and take on the shape of the container in which they lay. According to Michel Foucault identity is fluid, and as fluid, almost infinitely negotiable.

Dana de Luca is an Italian photographer living in Milan. After years free-lancing in photojournalism, reportage and portraiture with different national and foreign media, she is focusing her photographic research beyond the objective bounds of documentary style, searching broader horizons that do not exclude the subjective or the conceptual. In 2013, she self published the photo-book La Petite Mort, exhibited during the Photo Festival in Arles (Book Award Exhibition). She has exhibited her photographs at Galleria Nobili in Milan and the Guernsey PhotoFestival. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including Gatopardo Magazine (Mexico), Vive Magazine (Australia), L’Oeil de la Photographie (France) and Critica Impura (Italy)
