Luigi Cipriano – Timeless Istanbul

“A time capsule is a container specially prepared to store objects or information, destined to be found in a future era.”[1]  In our homes there are time capsules, but we do not realize it, they are the boxes where old photos are kept. The boxes of photographs are often found in the markets, the findings Continue Reading

Chiara Felmini – China

There are people who make trips and trips that people make: in China this can happen. Trips are made for many reasons and curiosity is always a good reason; We start with the desire to know and discover, but in the luggage sometimes slip from the drafts all those prejudices resulting from readings, stories and Continue Reading

Sergio Bertolotti – Gujarat

Crossing Gujarat by car is a singular and unexpected experience, You travel on a single wide road, a clear line between cultivated fields, farmers at work, shepherds with herds of cows and flocks of goats and sheep, until you reach small villages where daily gestures -beyond time- gain the scene. Deviating from the most beaten Continue Reading

Laura Pierangeli – The mattress maker of Bukhara

My name is Narghisa I am a mattress maker. I’ve been working in this building for so long that I call it home. Here I spend most of my day and with needle and thread I sew together remnants of fabric and remnants of life. The faded photographs on the walls tell of a distant Continue Reading

Andrea Peruzzi – Waiting for Dalai Lama

This story is not a photographic project designed at the table, but it represents what I like most.. that is traveling and documenting real situations and the people I meet, in a spontaneous way. Last summer I rented a motorbike and traveled through the valleys and villages of the Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh. By Continue Reading

Tina Salipante – Mare Fecunditatis

“I went back there,Where I had never been.Nothing, as it was not, has changed.”Giorgio Caproni Life and death appear to me as a single function that cancels itself in its beginning, almost a still movement, a failed act in the fall of time where the forms of existence transmute into silence, dissolve the contours of Continue Reading

Mauro Matalone -The Urgench cattle market

The Urgench cattle market takes place on the outskirts of this remote village in the northern region of Karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan. The market reaches the village after the celebration of the Uzbek new year called Navrùz, which coincides with the arrival of spring; it is an important event above all for the neighboring agricultural areas Continue Reading

Hamzeh Mohammad Hosseini – Being with Iranian Armenians

Every year, after the first month of summer, countless Armenians from all over the world are eager to travel to the first cathedral of the Christian world to participate in the religious ceremony that coincides with the murder of Saint Thaddeus and martyrdom of his Christian followers. This church is located 20 kilometers northeast of Continue Reading

Nadia Cianelli -The Space in Between

Traveling in the Amazon was like coming home, returning to a feeling of communion with nature and its sacredness. Water, sky, trees, ancient dances and songs, the Amazon is all this and much more, a suspended space and time, where visible and invisible, natural and supernatural merge and merge. Every discomfort and every difficulty are Continue Reading

Mauro Brienza – Kyrgyzstan

A pristine landscape accessible only in the warmer months, asleep under meters of snow for the rest of the year. Life in the steppe flows slowly; A hard existence, unchanged for centuries, of men and animals together. Here the nomads open the doors of their yurts and welcome the traveler who is passing through these Continue Reading
