Emma Cavigliasso: Photographing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Over nearly ten years, architect and photographer Emma Cavigliasso has cultivated a body of work that captures the beauty in everyday life. Her focus on natural light and the commonplace led to the creation of the 2020 photobook "Soglie," which was financed through crowdfunding. Cavigliasso's artistic journey acts as a personal diary, uncovering aesthetic charm in the ordinary. She examines the cyclical nature of light within her home, highlighting the uniqueness found in familiar scenarios. Her images evoke tranquility and draw parallels to musical rhythm. "Soglie" presents an autobiographical story with photographs taken in Paris in 2019, delving into transitional states and the interplay between objects, spaces, and perspectives, as her attention shifts from detail to broader context during her travels.
