.Context is a poetic reflection on time spent in specific landscapes such as deserts and volcanic landscapes, captured during long time travels. In these environments, I experienced the overwhelming force of earth and nature, the vastness that robbed me of any sense of footing, the silence that was at once deafening and oppressive and above all the existential awareness that such an overwhelming landscape brings.
This confrontation with boundless expanse evoked not only fear and awe but also an existential consciousness, which profoundly shaped my photography. I find myself continually drawn back to the desert and the volcanoes, deepening my relationship with those landscapes and yielding ever-new insights.
The design of the book is a leporello with a length of 5 mtr, printed on both sides.
