TITLE: Sturm und drang

It’s easy to see, it’s hard to observe, to understand, to capture. In these photos the nature is frozen, stopped in an endless moment that traps movement in its static (non sono sicura perché non trovo altri termini per staticità). It’s a continuous fight between quiet and caos in a nature that ,like for stürmer und dränger, it scares and attracts simultaneously and in which light and shadow crash generating balance

AUTHOR: Stefano Ciol (Italy)

Stefano Ciol, the heir of a photography dynasty, combines personal research with his professional work. He undertakes continual technological updating which leads him to crosspollinate traditional methods with the most recent and advanced ones for the purpose of perfecting correspondence between his own vision and the final image. This process is fully evident in the control of shades in his black and white photographs of landscapes, a revisitation in contemporary key of a genre that has its roots in the history of photography.
He lives and works at Casarsa della Delizia in the province of Pordenone, Italy.
