Lorenzo Marotti

Lorenzo Marotti was born in Rome, Italy, in 1992. He is a chemist and beside his profession, has been working for more than ten years with analog photography, focusing on alternative/experimental photography and exploring old photographic techniques – eventually adopting cyanotype as one of his main media of expression.

Lorenzo Marotti

“I am a chemist, photographer and artist, and my work is inspired by nature, science and philosophy. The technique of cyanotype offers me the chance of combining photography with chemistry, whilst investigating fundamental questions related to existence and perception. What my work is about is to try and create a thinking space, but also a kind of space where one could enter and disappear into, and perhaps never come back.”
