The photographs display a subtly dissonant relationship between man-made infrastructure and the natural world.

Book published by KULT BOOKS
In his debut monograph, Luoghi, Nicola Buonomo deepens his engagement with nine familiar places. Ranging from
his grandmother’s backyard to a sand production facility nearby, these are all within a few kilometers of Nicola’s home in Northern Sicily, Italy. The photographs display a subtly dissonant relationship between man-made infrastructure and the natural world.
Nicola first defined a clear perimeter for each area, outside of which he could not photograph. In creating these limitations, he ambitiously sought to exhaust most of the possibilities of his gaze within them- prompting a repetitive style of shooting. Sometimes photographing a single subject many times, Nicola forced himself to find new relationships with what he already knew well. In this attempt to enrich his relationship with the familiar, Nicola’s process became synonymous with the final work.
