The photographs unfold like fragments from a lost film, isolated frames carrying traces of something incomplete yet deeply evocative. Giuseppe De Mattia’s gaze captures the physical memory of the landscape — layers shaped over time by rain, salt, wind and erosion — revealing how nature continuously transforms the surface of the land.

What becomes especially striking is the way the images are placed in relation to one another. A rocky coastline scattered with debris, nets and remnants left by the sea is juxtaposed with intimate details of the human body: a bare shoulder marked by moles, skin resembling stone or sediment. Through this visual assembly, textures and forms begin to echo each other, linking geology and anatomy, landscape and flesh. The body itself becomes a kind of photographic terrain, resembling an astronomical map or the surface of a distant galaxy.
