Photo: “BWW #001” (Berlin) – 4’x5′ large format pinhole film camera\u00a0
\u00a9 Marco Ristuccia<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

There’s nothing better than inaugurating this blog with a new project announcement.<\/p>\n

However, besides being my official press page, The light beam<\/em>\u00a0ought to be also a discussion space and stimulus on concepts<\/em> and photography<\/em>. I hope that someone out there will capture this whisper among the screams and stay somehow tuned.<\/p>\n

And going back to the light beams, here’s the first image from my new project.\u00a0It focuses on the concept of “vacancy”\u00a0as an increasingly rare subject to find in our noisy contemporary existence. Something that still has the power to make us feel uncomfortable, with the urge to fill it with things, colors, noises and even thoughts. Just like a black hole, the vacuum itself yearns to be filled in by attracting everything in his range with some sort of magnetic energy.<\/p>\n

I feel this kind of vacancy in Berlin\u00a0every time I find myself in one of its many “places not places”.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Forgotten empty spaces overcome by dull blind buildings, whose walls resemble giant sheets waiting to be filled in.<\/p>\n

I decided to capture them with the help of the analog\u00a0pinhole photography for a series of reasons: the need to take my time into those places and the desire to make the film “breath” the atmosphere being the most important ones.<\/p>\n

The project is ongoing and all the photos will be shot with a 4’x5′ large format pinhole camera on B\/W film developed by myself.<\/p>\n

Comments are welcome!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for further updates…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
