Jochen Lempert brings his blend of scientific sensitivity and poetic vision to the remote Greek island of Kastellorizo. Known for his black-and-white photographs and his background in biology, he turns his lens to the subtle presences of animal, vegetal and mineral life on this isolated Mediterranean outpost. A series of quietly observational images documents the island's micro-habitats with a field biologist's care, relying on natural light, analogue processes and an acute sense of timing. The photographs were taken in the summer of 2019 during a residency at La Società delle Api, based on an idea by Cristiano Raimondi. The publication was realised thanks to the initiative and support of Silvia Fiorucci and La Società delle Api.
