ABOUT Marco Bartolozzi 

In a distracted and fast-paced world, Marco Bartolozzi sees photography as a unique medium to freeze moments in time, transforming them into lasting memories. A way to reconnect with the world. His passion lies in architectural photography, where the absence of people reveals the untold stories of human and social interactions that occur within those spaces. 

Each of Marco's photographs captures the essence of waiting, the passage of time, and the delicate balance between presence and absence. His images tell silent, evocative stories, inviting viewers to look beyond the visible surface and explore the profound depth of each location. 

Marco's approach to photography is not bound by a strict process but guided by a philosophy: to create a narrative of the present through images. Each photograph is a thread in a larger tapestry, connecting to others to form a cohesive story. His narratives remain open-ended, encouraging viewers to interpret and continue the story on their own. 

Through his extensive photographic journey—from the darkroom days of analog photography to the precision of digital—Marco has embraced the value of patience. He believes that true vision requires time, allowing the unseen to reveal itself. What once seemed insignificant or hidden transforms into meaningful fragments that, together, compose the story of a place and moment in time. 

LOST AT SEA 

While the bathing establishments rest silently the sea is a waiting of promise under the warmth of the first sun. 

Lost at Sea is a photographic investigation of the silent waiting for life to return to coastal resorts. It also reflects on the beauty and tranquility of these places now stripped of their summer chaos.  

Through my photographs, I show the metamorphosis of noisy and populated places into spaces of solitude and serenity. 

‌The sea is the silent protagonist that links the different moments of the project, symbolizing the cyclical nature of time. 

Each shot represents a window of time, inviting the viewer to reflect on the metaphysical dimension of time and the waiting dimension, in which one can get lost but also find oneself when it all opens up again. 

‌"Lost at Sea" captures the essence of waiting and uncertainty that we have and uncertainty that we have experienced in recent times.  
I invite the viewer to reflect on the transience of life, the resilience of life, and the resilience of the places we love.
