Drowned — Alessandro Silverj
In Drowned, Alessandro Silverj explores a world on the brink, where the future of the cosmos is uncertain. Through striking images, he captures solitary figures in turbulent, ever-changing landscapes that connect our reality with a parallel one. Inspired by J.G. Ballard's The Drowned World, the book portrays the planet's potential devastation and the overwhelming power of nature. Alessandro suggests that humanity’s survival depends on finding balance between the inner self and the outside world, and that moving away from past destruction is the only way to build a better future.

アレッサンドロ・シルヴェルジの写真集は、宇宙の未来が不確かな世界の瀬戸際を探求しています。彼は、現実と並行する世界をつなぐ孤独な人物を、激変する風景の中で印象的に捉えています。J.G.バラードの『沈んだ世界』にインスパイアされたこの写真集は、地球の壊滅的な未来と、圧倒的な自然の力を描き出します。シルヴェルジは、人類の生存は内なる自己と外の世界とのバランスを取ることにかかっており、過去の破壊から離れ、新しい未来を築くことが唯一の道であると示唆しています。
