ABOUT

As Lewis Baltz wrote in an interview he conducted with himself at the age of 27, a photograph—a print—is a flat figure with five sides: the four edges and the surface, that is, the area where we see the content of the photograph. Although this statement may seem logical, it has a very strong revelatory impact: we need to experience it, to see it. We cannot photograph what we do not see, but we can observe anything at any time, without seeking a particular or decisive moment. Architecture is three-dimensional: we experience it immersively, with our body and our senses.
These convergences, different and distant, between architecture and photography inform the work of Marta Tonelli, who  graduated from the Accademia di Mendrisio in 2017 and subsequently specialized in Photography at the Iuav University of Venice. Today, Marta works with photography, both as a photographer as well through the production of projects with other authors, architects, public institutions, and academic organizations.
