TITLE: Respira

I need clean air. I need a new gravity. I am looking for a better place, so I fly high above the clouds, where perhaps I can breathe. I'm just a kid.

“Every day around 93% of the world’s children under the age of 15 years (1.8 billion children) breathe air that is so polluted it puts their health and development at serious risk. Tragically, many of them die: WHO estimates that in 2016, 600,000 children died from acute lower respiratory infections caused by polluted air.” (World Health Organization)

AUTHOR: Maria Laura Borgognoni (Italy)

Born in 1979 in a family of artists, I live and work in Italy.
Graduated in architecture, but with an eclectic nature and great passion for the arts which allowed me to train and work also as a graphic designer, light designer, dancer and choreographer. I’m approached photography many years ago starting with an analog camera.

The space-time decontextualization and abstraction, the search for rhythm in the subjects represented are the fulcrum of my photographic work, which derives from a dynamic approach to space, in which reorganization and reinterpretation processes come into play. Photography allows me to show a different dimension, where the impression of reality can merge with a dream projection, connecting more with the emotional sphere than the rational or narrative one.
