Disorient, a poetic license that smacks of distance. 23 stories and 115 photographs. Travel, landscapes, memory. From Venice to India and China, passing through Easter Island and Arizona. Glaciers, beaches, deserts. The myth of New York and the attraction to the Middle East. Merchants, photographer-explorers, missionaries and camel drivers. The archeology of the Roman Empire and industry. The evocative power of places. An old broken compass, the waves of the Strait of Magellan. The mountains of the Great War. Lost loves and forever loves. The passion for poetry, adventure cinema. The scenarios of history, the nocturnal metropolises, the boundless nature through the images and words of a great landscape photographer.
Luca Campigotto
(Venezia, 1962) Photographer living between Milan and New York.
