Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

For people living in Ticino, Switzerland, and Lombardia, Italy, crossing the checkpoints that dot the territory to go to work, buy groceries or simply for a stroll, is part of the daily routine. Unlike many bordering territories around the world, the Swiss-Italian border divides two regions united by the same language and many cultural similarities.

This project aims to explore that political borderline, highlighting its ephemeral and abstract nature. It does so by juxtaposing images of the mountains – where the vegetation is slowly hiding checkpoints and barbed wire, and photos of urban areas – where border structures are still dividing the landscape.

Born in a mountainous corner of Switzerland near the Italian border, Luca Piffaretti was first drawn to photograph his surroundings while in Bologna, where he graduated with a bachelor degree in Contemporary History. In 2012 he moved to London to attend an MA Photojournalism at the University of Westminster where through the eyes of documentary photographers like Mark Power and Nadav Kander he developed a passion for architecture and urban landscapes.

Luca’s photography process is driven by the same inquisitive spirit that pushed him to explore the streets of Bologna, in constant research of the perfect combination of form, texture and light. He divides his practice between commercial shoots for architects and interior designers and personal work centred on a psychogeographical exploration of his surroundings.
