Wave | Holy & Broken collection | Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Spain (2017) Holy & Broken is a collection of limited-edition photographic prints on brushed aluminum that was inspired by the lifelong process of discovering my own spirituality. It consists of candid photographs I took between 2015 and 2019 during my trips. My family tree has roots that are deeply entrenched in the catholic tradition but, generation after generation, these links have weakened. Untypically for Italians, I was brought up as an atheist. The concept of "faith" has been unknown to me throughout my whole childhood. Only in my late pubertal years, I started researching about different world religions and set foot on a path towards questioning my atheistic upbringing. A process that to date is still ongoing. I took this photo on the dunes of Maspalomas on the island of Gran Canaria in December 2016. Gran Canaria is a round-shaped island belonging to the archipelago of the Canaries, a Spanish territory off the coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean, renowned as the "islands of the eternal Spring" for their all-year-round mild temperatures. Gran Canaria in particular distinguishes itself from the other islands for the variety of different micro-climates it hosts. Differently from the mild and humid climate of the northern side (where the capital Las Palmas is) the southern part - where the beach of Maspalomas is - is mostly very warm and dry. When I shot this photo (sunset, on a December day), the temperature was pleasant enough to comfortably walk on the windy shore shirtless. TECHNICAL DETAILS This photo - just like all my other works on Saatchiart - is printed on brushed aluminum by Whitewall - the German, award-winning photo lab renowned for its superior, gallery-quality, printing process. The horizontally brushed, metallic surface adds a characteristic flair to my images making them look timeless: old-fashioned and modern at the same time. Depending on the light and the viewing angle, the aluminum surface shimmers differently, therefore constantly altering the prints’ appearance in unpredictable ways. This is the reason why I print all of my artistic works on brushed aluminum. Prints on aluminum are thin (0.3cm), sturdy and incredibly light. Being pre-treated with UV light protects them from light damage, dust particles and moisture. As a matter of fact, not only are aluminum prints rust-proof, they are also - differently from most other print materials - suitable for bathrooms and sheltered outdoor areas. My prints -unless otherwise stated- are always fitted, as from the photos, with Whitewall's aluminum rail rectangle (depth 1.5cm) and are therefore ready to hang, vertically or horizontally. The 1.5cm distance from the wall makes up for an eye-catching 'float' effect that beautifully emphasises the print. Every single limited-edition print is numbered and hand-signed by myself.

Germany
Alessandro Corsini is a visual artist working with video and photography, based in Berlin, Germany. Born in Milan (Italy) in the seventies, having grown up on the pristine beaches of Sardinia, he had his first encounter with B&W film photography during a course at his intermediate school in Maryland, USA. The interest for media has since guided his multifaceted formation, leading him not only to study and work with different media, but actually exploring them through artistic, scientific, and applied arts lenses. His eclectic body of work is a reflection of his free spirit, cosmopolitan upbringing, and interdisciplinary background. His photographic research focuses on fine-art, conceptual works that deconstruct/decontextualize traditional photographic genres and techniques, in the pursuit of a new, purely artistic, definition of photographic iconicity.
