A Photographic Odyssey of the Rise and Fall of Coral Reefs on Our Planet Life began in the sea, a primordial cradle where the first traces of biology took form. Around 500 million years ago, the earliest aquatic organisms emerged, inscribing the blueprint of evolution into salt and water. Modern corals appeared some 220 million years ago and since then have built entire underwater cities. These... Read More
Lucia Giacani's photography exists at the threshold between fashion and fantasy, where the real dissolves into the surreal and beauty takes on an almost hallucinatory quality. Her images are meticulously composed, saturated with detail, and rich with symbolism; each frame a tableau vivant that blurs the boundaries between desire, identity, and illusion. Dreams, in Giacani’s visual language, are... Read More
This exhibition by photojournalist Ali Haj Suleiman follows the relentless search of Syrian families for their disappeared loved ones. Rooted in his own experience, with his father missing in the regime’s prisons for more than a decade, the work reflects both personal loss and collective struggle. The images portray the emotional toll of absence while revealing the quiet strength of those who r... Read More

Started in 2022, the project generates a visual dialogue about the Amazonian multiverse by combining photography with ancestral Kené embroidery. Our collaboration addresses sustainability from an environmental and cultural perspective, questioning the colonial fractu... Read More
Can wild animals be photographed in a studio? How can the classic, staged aesthetics of studio photography, with its controlled lighting, be combined with the genuine presence of wild animals? These questions inspired the project When They Are Free. Two main challenges quickly emerged: creative and technical. Having spent more than 20 years photographing animals in their natural habitats, trave... Read More
This project began after completing my National Youth Service in Nigeria. Due to unforeseen circumstance, I found myself without a place to stay. Looking for shelter, I ended up spending several days and nights at Olusosun landfill, the largest dumpsite in Africa. There, I met waste miners — individuals who survive by reclaiming and selling materials from the dump. The condition of survival, ye... Read More
