ABOUT

As Lewis Baltz wrote in an interview he conducted with himself at the age of 27, a photograph—a print—is a flat figure with five sides: the four edges and the surface, that is, the area where we see the content of the photograph. Although this statement may seem logical, it has a very strong revelatory impact: we need to experience it, to see it. We cannot photograph what we do not see, but we can observe anything at any time, without seeking a particular or decisive moment. 

Marta Tonelli (Trento, 1990) graduated from the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio in 2017 under the guidance of Mario Botta. She then earned a Master’s degree in Photography from Iuav University of Venice in 2019. Today, Marta works with photography, both as a photographer as well through the production of projects with other authors, architects, public institutions, and academic organizations.
