Luca Gilli's 'Blank' Series: White as Fullness

publication · 2026-07-04

Luca Gilli, born in 1965 in Emilia, Italy, has carved out a paradigmatic space in photography. His series 'Blank' is a revelation: white to the point of dazzlement, an emptiness that compels meditation. Gilli's background in scientific studies informs a culture attentive to nature, its needs, and its preservation, as well as an archaic, originary philosophy. He approaches each subject with discretion, not experimentation, using long exposures to make things shine without modifying or arranging them.
