bio

carlo lombardi (b. 1988), based between milan (italy) and vilnius (lithuania), works on long-term projects and commissions using a multidisciplinary approach that involves photography, archive and text. his praxis reflects on how photography can open the space for questioning our motives and desires – bringing out the paradoxes that clash with our beliefs and values, revealing how much they are influenced by the cultural and political context in which the observation takes place. in his projects, he often delves into identification of collective symbols and biases behind singular narratives of exclusion. since 2018, he has been collaborating with photographer miriam stanke as a collective, addressing topics such as the aftermath of war, national identity and transgenerational trauma.
