safe zone: light-house #3 Photograph - Limited Edition of 7

On the coast of the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy there are 7 lighthouses. These became the focus for 7 photographs, depicting the lighthouses as if they were totemic sculptures, in an evocative nocturnal atmosphere. The photographs, which can be lit or not, represent different ways of seeing a single object. Given it’s highly symbolic and therefore almost untouchable nature, the lighthouse gave me the freedom to work with the surface. The way we treat the surface changes our perceptions and emphasizes the differences between photography (not lit) and painting (lit). The 7 lighthouses on the Romagna coast represent a frontier between two mediums as well as a symbolic boundary between a non-place (the sea) and a place (land) but still a safe zone. However the safe zone is ambiguous - on the one hand it is synonymous with seeing and finding hope and security. On the other hand it is the way that we look at things that gives us stability. Each lighthouse has a different architecture with its own history and memory. This one was built in 1863. It is still active and located in Porta Corsini close to San Marino di Ravenna.
