STUDY II

Photographer Luca Marziale's series studie I and II explores some of the world’s oldest living bacteria. Apart from the visual effect of these formations, they are also incredibly mysterious, they remind Luca what life might look like on another planet. The more Luca photographed and studied these Thermophiles (Latin for heat-loving bacteria), he realized there was very little scientific information about them. Scientists know they are some of the oldest living organisms in the world, dating back 3 billion years and they live and thrive in extreme environments. Rather than presenting the wide shot, Luca focused on the micro shot, zoning in on smaller worlds that often get overlooked. He aims to represent the landscape in a more abstract and non-traditional manner, freeing the viewer from any points of reference and focusing on formations, perspective, and scale.

About the Piece

Luca Marziale, born in Lugano, Switzerland, is an accomplished photographer renowned for his abstract micro-landscapes. Using a medium-format film Hasselblad camera, he captures natural elements and intricate patterns in extreme environments, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. By shifting perspectives and creating micro-landscapes, Marziale challenges conventional notions of landscape photography, creating images that invite viewers to see the world anew. A BFA graduate from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Marziale has exhibited his large-scale prints in important solo and group shows, including SCOPE (Art Show Basel and Miami), The Other Art Fair (London), and CONTEXT (New York City). His work has also been featured by the United Nations, National Geographic, and New Scientist.
