This is an unpublished project premiered today on C41 Magazine.
Born and raised in Apulia, South of Italy. Nicola has been living in Spain, Austria, and Germany before settling in the Netherlands, where he currently lives.
He is a storyteller and documentarist, using photography and visual arts to create narratives with a particular focus on the environment and the way mankind relates to it.
Photography for him is a spare-time activity, as a creative counterweight to his job.
About A Mezzogiorno – words by Nicola Moscelli:
A Mezzogiorno is an Italian expression meaning both “at midday” and “in the South”.
This work is the result of my personal perspective towards my own origins, which I inevitably keep questioning every time I travel back to the South of Italy.
Traveling there means entering a dimension in which time never seems to pass, in which life flows marked uniquely by customs and traditions. Life becoming still life.
It is a familiar, reassuring, yet numbing state of mind that while living abroad I learned to inextricably long for and reject. It is the indissoluble mixture of sacred and secular, tuff houses eroded by wind and sea salt, peeling lime wall, rust, sunburnt land.
