2018 | Martina Geccelli

Trained as an architect and sculptor, I work intensely with photography and run the independent artist-led project space RAUMX London. Using the language of the image to investigate the familiar, The Vanishing Point project is contributing to (re)search into individual and collective identity. Embracing the concept of continual change, I researched my specific surroundings, exposed myself to the past and present of the village, its architecture and its nature. My methods were recollection of the visual and archiving of the new. This residency was also an opportunity to delve into my Italian ancestry, and my story of immigration and displacement. Living away from my first language, German, I am interested in language’s specificities. Image and word, representation and word: heard, read and seen in Collemacchia.
