About Fragile Materials – words by Giacomo Bianco:
Fragile materials is a continuosly developing archive of photographic images: a collection
of delicate moments poised between life and death, between the human and the non-human realm and the relationship that allows them to intertwine.
The images – as they are untied from any underlying design idea – appear as free, simple disinterested suggestions: visual notes focusing on the intimate dynamics of coexistence between species, including sensitive moments of vulnerability and empathy.
