There is no grand event, only the accumulation of small details that tell a larger story—one of memory, place, and time suspended in light. This work captures fleeting, poetic moments: shadows stretching across surfaces, the texture of fabric in soft light, the quiet presence of an untouched meal.
Rather than documenting events, it focuses on the subtle interplay between movement and stillness, evoking a sense of solitude, introspection, and the ephemeral beauty of everyday life.
Giacomo Bonfante (b. 1994 — Mantua, Italy) is a photographer exploring wandering, nostalgia, and intimacy through quiet observation. His work focuses on details rather than events—shadows stretching across walls, the textures of worn surfaces, the silent weight of an object left behind. Light, space, and stillness shape a familiar yet cinematic world.
Inspired by the aesthetics of analog photography, his compositions balance precision with imperfection, transforming the ordinary into something worth paying attention to and poetic, inviting viewers to slow down and see the ephemeral beauty of everyday life.
