SQUARED LIGHT
Copyright © Patrizia Lanna / All rights reserved
Patrizia Lanna is a
professional photographer working mainly in her territory, i.e. Genoa and
Liguria, where she likes also to investigate less known or less obvious aspects
of daily urban life. She has ranged from social problems to theatre life, from
travel reportage to her collaboration with the UN in Africa, and through her
“photographic journeys” she has always managed to highlight hidden and unexpected
sides of human subjects or inanimate objects.
With
her reportage Squared Light she deals
with the narration of not very widespread sport, which is often considered as “minor”
and “poor” – boxing (with racing, it is
the most deeply rooted sport in the origins of the human species). The ring is
that of Celano Boxe Genova in Cornigliano, but it looks like the gyms in
Harlem, New York, or in Boston and in Chicago. In these sturdy b&w shots
you can perceive power, sweat, toil, grace of bodies and always passion.
