LS VIII A photography project by Luca Tombolini

“In my photography I’m following a fascination for desert primordial places. No other places are so helpful in making that mind shift, needed to try to inquire beyond our limited lifetime.”

“The dawn of mankind, a time with no rationality. An ancestor contemplating the cosmos perceives the necessity of a divinity. The Second Cosmogony takes place along with the miracle of self-thinking consciousness. In that moment he knows he exists for a reason; he’s got the significative element and this had found a way to reveal itself to him. Conscious and Unconscious got together in the creation of the Self.” – Luca Tombolini

Based in Milan, Luca is an Italian self taught large format photographer. Since 2011, he’s drum scanning and printing on large scale prints; landscapes and real life scenes.
