Giovanni de Mojana is a senior student at the Intercultural Communications faculty of Bicocca University in Milan. Many factors influenced his formation during high-school and junior years from family to the social context, bringing him closer to photography after studying cinematography in Berlin in 2015. During the same year he approached photography while shooting performances and backstages. Since then he always developed his vocation for capturing images, using it as a tool and a medium to get closer to what he holds dearer, the world in its shades, people’s culture and different ways of living and all their expressions.
Lately his experience in the photography field brought him to work as an assistant for documentary photographer Francesco Anselmi.
About ‘Holydays’ – words by Giovanni de Mojana:
This trip to Myanmar starts with leaving regardless of any expectation of what is going to be. Every step of the way, discovering a land that floats between reality and magic, everything brought to attention the symbolism and representation of the divine, the mystical and spiritual in the realm of reality, from drinking a cup of tea, to crossing a forest buried in darkness, having a bowl of rice crouched on the ground, or diving into the cold waters of a river.
Signs that we forgot or maybe that distanced from us, that no longer manifest themselves to us. Showing the never-ending bond among things, eternal and unlimited conjunction between earth and sky, reality and divinity.
