From 15-18 February 2012, I will expose some pictures from palaces of the soul, demons and blow-up series at Parallax, an art fair that will be held at Chelsea Town Hall, King’s Road, London.
More informations at Fabiano Busdraghi at P(AF).
During the last weeks, little by little I completely rewritten the statements of demons and blow-up series. My friend Davide Boschetto was a huge help to find the right expression and add a poetic touch to the statements. Thank you so much Davide!
I’m quite happy with the new statements, so make sure to read them.
A really good Spanish magazine dedicate to photography -Doze Magazine- just published in the 7th issue hyperbolsk (pdf 28Mb) a nice article about my Infinite Building series.
I partecipated to the International Photography Awards with some photos from Antarctica, The palaces of the soul, and Demons portfolios. All of them passed through the first of three rounds in the

The prints will be exposed in Kiyosato at the beginning of the next year during the young portfolio exhibition.

Is about to be published a new big book that tells the whole story of the agglomerations by Giacomo Costa. The book, 260 pages, is published by Damiani editore.
In the book there will two important texts: one by Sir Norman Foster and the other by Luca Beatrice (the curator of the Italy pavilion at the next Venice Biennale). Beatrice in his own text mentions some extracts from the interview with Giacomo Costa I wrote for Camera Obscura.
Several people during the last months asked me to modify the Camera Obscura page layout.
The current improvements includes: lighter page backround for easy reading, no tree photo header, bigger comments fonts, less evident meta and navigations controls, faster pages.
The brand new Italian photograph magazine Rear View Mirror, published in its first issue a selection of photos from Antarctica and some extracts from my travel diary.
