PIANET TERRA #1

Everytime man compares himself to nature, he feels the necessity to impart to others his capacity of been estonished by the world. This is the area of interest in which Lia Stein’s research starts moving.She deals with the discard between the immediate approach to the photo and a much more careful consideration.The author puts us in front of considerable and

mysterious frontal shots which seem to be snapped on another planet. They seem to pause on surfaces on which wounds get open and veinings running even if it’s from the neat lines of

the chams that we understand we are in front of marble walls. Lia Stein suggests us that they aren’t the static aspects of nature that photography gives us but, instead, landscapes destined to change as soon as other cuts , interventions, excavations will create different walls and additional traces to follow. By observing these photos attentively, in fact, we are able to discover little peculiarities and we can catch some atmospheres which, at a first glance, slippaed away and that now, instead, help us tasting discovery. If we think about all this, we can realise that this is a great metaphore of life. (Roberto Mutti)
