Voyage vers

Mario Del Curto

Voyage vers is a project by Mario Del Curto. It focuses on the different ways in which human beings have interacted with their natural, botanical environment through the ages and in different parts of the world. The Swiss photographer, well-known for his stage photography, his portraits of Art brut artists and his images of extraordinary international environments, goes beyond the thematic limits of his existing work. This trans-disciplinary and exploratory project sets out to be a “subjective narration” which stands at the crossroads between art and science, where photographic vision meets cutting-edge research in plant biology. Implicitly, the spectator is confronted with essential contemporary questions, such as the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources as well as more confidential issues, among them, our relationship to life.
