Unearth

• Photographer
  Luca Marziale, born in Lugano, Switzerland, graduated with a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He is a medium format landscape photographer who captures the relentless shaping of the natural world through time, erosion, life and death. Focusing on the building blocks that make up the landscape, he finds overlooked moments, personal spaces that can define a state of natural rapture - as a tribute to a world that too often eludes us. Luca recently exhibited at The Other Art Fair in London and SCOPE Art Basel Switzerland and Miami. , United Kingdom

I am attracted to harsh environments and Yellowstone in winter at
-35° below, certainly tested my endurance. Photographing in one
of the most isolated regions in North America, I was fascinated by
the tension between the frozen landscape and the fiery geothermal
activity below. This series attempts to captures images that are the
result of the conflict between these colliding forces, which make
this landscape unique.
In some other images in the series I have blurred the lines between
reality and abstraction. Free from points of reference, the viewer is
left focusing on the composition and texture of the work. The
absence of scale and obvious subject matter in the works is
deliberate, allowing space for further interpretation. Abstraction
from time and place depicts images of untouched and solitary
beauty, providing a commentary on the tension within our
continually threatened natural environment and the endurance of
earth’s primitive landscapes.
