Although she studied fine arts and graphic design, Auriane has found her artistic voice through her inherent nostalgic and anxious personality. Knowing past was tearing her apart and future will kill her – afraid of living and scared of dying - she decided to work with and on time by suspended it physically, and poetically. Art became a means for her to anchor to the present as a way to accept her own condition; and overall to make us face our own condition too.

My name is Ira Kostyuk, I'm 26 and I'm a Ukrainian photography student living in Florence.
In 2021 I decided to move to Florence to study photography, which unexpectedly became a very effective therapeutic tool for me.
I mainly take self-portraits, which help me to exorcise negative feelings such as loss, pain and anger.
My latest project "Ти тут"(ty tut) helped me to work out and overcome a traumatic experience I realised I had gone through as a child about two years ago. I tried to recreate some of my memories and feelings in order to exorcise this past experience and accept the fact that I was never responsible for anything that happened. "Ти тут", which means "You are here" in Ukrainian, is a reminder to all victims of child abuse that their trauma does not define them.

Carrying with her since childhood, a fondness for the sentimentality of still photographs she is self-taught, using only secondhand digital cameras.

Inspired by light and shadows, her process is that of visual storytelling, unplanned and inspired by what the light, space and energy offer in the moment creating bodies of work that appear as documentary portraiture spotlighting womankind.

Quintin H. O’Connell (b. 1998) is an American artist working in photography. His work attempts to reach into the complexities of the human condition; he explores themes of identity, belonging, and the timeless human pursuit of a meaningful life.

In his most recent series, Anomie, O’Connell focuses on his own anomic sentiments. By juxtaposing his body with images of the natural world, O’Connell attempts to dissolve the boundary between self and other, evoking a sympathetic and unifying awareness of being.

As the series develops, the initial anomic sentiment gives way to a process of individuation. The images also act as a contemplation of the mysterious allure of nature, inviting viewers to reach into a veiled beauty concealed within simple and quiet moments

Gabriel Nebular is a self-taught artist from Mar del Plata, Argentina, who works with music, video and experiments with analogue photography as a means of expression and self-exploration.

"In analogue photography, I find a constant dialogue between the perceived, the imaginary and chance. Through various methods of manipulating the film, I discover an overlapping dimension where time behaves differently.

Sometimes it involves multiple exposures or the use of filters; sometimes it is done chemically, by infusing the film with various ingredients, burning the negatives or erasing them with bleach - or simply doing nothing, or all of the above.

There is a constant play between what is experienced in the moment and what the camera brings back from reality.

This reality then fragments over time and transforms into something more; like a reflection between the inner and outer worlds, similar to dreams and memory"

My name is Roman Drits and I am originally from Latvia, but now I live a life that oscillates between Latvia and Germany.
Spanning atmospheric, street, documentary and personal styles, my photography seeks to capture the essence of fleeting moments, exploring the delicate space between events and states.
In my artistic process, the choice of camera is secondary to the emotions and stories that each image conveys.
While my toolkit ranges from simple disposable cameras to digital models, I have a particular affinity for the authenticity and texture that analogue techniques provide. This preference adds a genuine, tactile quality to my work.
In each picture I try to capture not just a scene, but its essence - like a brush with the world of dreams or a hint of a symbolic system. It's not about capturing the obvious, but the feeling of the moment; not just a bird, but the whisper of the wind as it beats its wings. My focus is on the subtle yet meaningful aspects of life, emotions and experiences.It's about revealing the beauty in the everyday, the ordinary scenes that contain extraordinary stories. My work is a constant endeavour to share these moments, to present the simple yet profound stories of our daily lives.

AILEN VIEYTES DE SIMONE

Born in 1995 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am a photographer and a visual artist.
Some of my work has been exhibited in some Argentinean museums.
I have a book published by Artefacto Casa Editora called "Visions”.
I am interested in rendering ungraspable everything that is assured to be evident. Through the production, reinvention, appropriation and hybridisation of images, I seek to strip them of their references in order to construct a living and ephemeral glow, a language of gestures in the dark.

David Siodos
There was nothing that predestined me to be a photographer.
Sensitive and curious, fate opened the doors of an exhibition not far from my home, in Toulouse, paying tribute to the work of the photographer W***y Ronis, and for the first time in my life, I felt at home.
From then on, I decided to wander the streets in search of a scene, a unique emotion. I was lost but completely happy. Later, I found myself on the edge of the ring road. I wanted to document the lives of those who are not spoken about.
Since then, my work has focused on alternative life through projects that highlight marginality in different places.
Through my photography, my aim is to present a difficult and reclusive world from a human and poetic point of view.

Ariadna Lasser

"I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1987, and I started taking photos in 2013. In the beginning I used to do street photography, but in recent years I have been interested in more intimate projects related to self portraits and photos of nature. I have two publications, Éter, published by Sô Edições, and Los Sueños, edited by Selo Turvo, both in Brazil.
I think of photography as a kind of personal diary that I keep to help me remember my feelings, each photograph being a sort of anchor to keep me from fading in the constant change that is life"

Catherine Jablonski is a photographer and moving image artist based in Yorkshire, UK.
Growing up in West Country she began a passion for exploring stories connected to the rural English landscape. Using exclusively analogue methods, she delves into ancient histories—folk tales, archaeology, and ghost stories—to capture glimpses of the past. Catherine Jablonski, a film graduate from Manchester School of Art, infuses her photography with a cinematic quality. Her themes revolve around caves, geology, ruins, and the intersection of natural landscapes with man-made elements.

Her current project ’Cave of Bones,’ unveils evidence of human activity from 12,500 BC within a cave system in the Yorkshire Dales. A cave acts as a frozen moment in time, so familiar yet distant to the contemporary human. Caves connect the past with the present forcing us to examine what life would have been like on the fields and hills that were once cold tundras. The first written record comes around 3400 BC, meaning most of human history can only be uncovered by looking inside our ancient landscape, examining the rocks, and looking into the subterranean world below. Her film work often explores ghost stories captured on 16mm and super 8, she is fascinated with what fighten our ancestors and ourselves.
