HUMAN LANDSCAPES
—
Mountains being eaten up by man. Here you can see part of the huge marble mines complex between Massa and Carrara, Italy. This majestic landscape is disappearing piece by piece to satisfy the demand of marble, as if kitchen counters are more valuable than the Apuane mountains, the biodiversity and the wellness of people living and working there.

The "Rich Mountain," a stark icon of globalization and extractivism, contributed about 85% of the world’s silver extraction from the 16th to 18th centuries. This silver fuelled Spanish imperialism and expanded global trade networks to an unprecedented scale. Galeano highlights its dark legacy, with an estimated eight million lives lost in Potosí, making it a monument to human sacrifices by early globalised capitals.

Chile is the world's leading copper producer, accounting for nearly 30% of global copper production, a key material for the "sustainable" transition to "clean energy." The expansive footprints of the Anthropocene extend well beyond territorial borders, in new globalised landscape of extractivist pursuits.

Chuquicamata's immense scale defies human imagination, ranking among the world's largest open-pits by volume. It spans 5 kilometers in length, 3.5 kilometers in width, and dives over 1000 meters deep. Through eons, humans have expressed their existence with cities, temples, and by weaving myths into the Earth. Today, we manifest our presence through large-scale geomorphological shifts—the extraction and depletion of societal values in an unending cycle of accumulation.

Our vision of the Earth has changed dramatically since we are able to see satellite images. That luckily hasn’t taken away the magic of discovering peculiarities while we fly.

Pause. You are waiting for a bus at a bus stop. You are out of space, out of time, out of action, frozen at the bus stop. You can finally take a breath, stop the endless flow of words around you. The residents of "New Life" are the pioneers of this new reality, living at the intersection of progress and nostalgia.

My work examines human interaction with the landscape- the ways that we alter, mediate, engage with and represent it. Focused on the built environment, observations encompass the intricate systems that act to limit the destructive natural forces of volcanic sites in the Japanese archipelago, Hawai'i, and the Azores. These islands share an infrastructure that is conspicuously engineered and endemic to regions besieged by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, landslides, and tsunamis.

In parallel to the living city of New York, a city of fiery electrical towers flies by the car window, rising up from the haunting industrial New Jersey landscape.

How the world works, how it is powered, connected, repaired - a glimpse into the sleepless, humming, blasting night world where modern mysteries unfold after the sun goes down…

Logos Liguri: A Metaphysical Debate, is a film which traces the developing landscape of the Ligurian region of North-Western Italy, as a living being, autonomous from human conceptions. The film uses a depth of time-scale to overcome the digital time-scale of contemporary life, to enter a world of thoughtfulness and meditation on the changing human-world-planet relationship.
Logos Liguri compiles philosophy, science, and the occult with footage using extra-human vision systems to interrogate the concept of planetary intelligence and the anthropocene. Created by Davey Whitcraft and Francesco Cassissa, Italian with English Subtitles. 4k video, running time 20 minutes. Score by Aaron Lepley.

This series is part of a larger body of work titled 'Palimpsests'. This term refers to a parchment where the original writing has been erased to make way for a new text, with the initial text remaining however partly visible by transparency. Indeed, these projects take the form of contemporary rewritings of iconic works from the history of photography, translated into the new context of digital society.

Pigeon is the witness, a feral resident of urban space, trying to find its way of life within the cement jungle. Natural elements become a visual metaphor for desire, reflecting a picture of fleeing from busy life — a compensation for reality.

Each of these places has a real address. You can order delivery there. Just one click is enough to get anything. The wibe of the city and its inhabitants will never be the same. Comfortable consumption is a habit, a new addiction. The most pleasant and the most inconspicuous one that has appeared recently. Walking to the store in bad weather already causes so much discomfort. The comfortable waiting time has been reduced several times in recent years. We do not notice the delight of receiving something, but we notice pronounced displeasure if the expectation did not come true immediately. Delivery Man are not just a symbol of our time. This is a phenomenon that changes the basic habits, behavior of people and the way of thinking of future generations.

My creations focus taking photography to capture contemporary landscapes that showcase strong atmosphere, with interaction betewn nature and artificial human made création, my artworks highlight the dynamic between two strong opposite dynamic. Through motifs of curves and angles, I create tension and invite viewers to explore modern landscapes, revealing hidden stories and inner worlds.
