Submission by Cosimo Calabrese: "Taranto stands as a paradigmatic example of how economic and industrial development in Italy—particularly in the South—has often been chaotic, shaped by political complicity and clientelism, and marked by long-term, devastating consequences for local territories. Today, Taranto is considered one of the most polluted cities in Europe. For decades, the number of people affected by pollution-related diseases has steadily increased. The industrial plant—referred to locally simply as “the factory”—was transferred from state ownership to various private administrations in the 1990s, before returning to state control in 2020. However, the structural issues responsible for its harmful emissions have never been fully resolved. Taranto is the city where I was born and where I still live. To investigate it as a photographer has meant confronting a place to which I am deeply connected—a place that holds my family, my friends, and my personal history. In this body of work, I have attempted, as much as possible, to distance myself from my own lived experience and to approach the city with a more analytical, almost scientific perspective. I chose to conduct this photographic investigation as if it were an autopsy—returning to the original Greek meaning of the word autopsia, “to see with one’s own eyes.” I systematically examined and dissected the streets of Taranto, searching for evidence, while remaining faithful to a photojournalistic approach grounded in direct observation and firsthand knowledge. The project began with the superimposition of a map of Taranto and its industrial area onto an image resembling a lung tumor scan. From there, I started to conceive of the city as a living body, where the industrial expansion of the 1960s acted like a neoplastic disease: a pathology originating in a specific area and gradually spreading, over time, throughout the entire urban and social fabric". #noicemag #photography

Submission by Robby Ogilvie: "While living and teaching in Hong Kong, I began photographing basketball courts. They appeared everywhere across the city: beside schools, between housing towers, on rooftops and in open courtyards. What first drew me to them was not the game itself but the geometry of colour and the rhythm of repetition. Circles, lines and rectangles laid across painted surfaces that felt both functional and quietly meditative. In Hong Kong these courts are woven deeply into the architecture of the city. Many sit within the vast public housing estates that define its skyline, places where everyday life gathers and circulates. They operate as small social stages embedded within dense urban neighbourhoods, spaces where recreation, observation and community life intersect..."

Submission by Angelo Greco: "Ask the Concrete is a long-term photographic project exploring marginal urban environments and the quiet tension embedded in built landscapes. The work moves through peripheral spaces, unfinished structures, and fragments of concrete architecture where presence and absence seem to coexist. Rather than describing specific places, the photographs approach these environments as psychological territories shaped by time, expectation, and suspended possibility..."

Photography submission by Wolfgang Maurouard: My photographic practice is a contemplative exploration of dreamscapes devoid of human presence. By removing the figure, I seek to translate the subtle and mystical dialogue between architecture and the land — between man-made structures and the natural environment. In this absence, light and shadow emerge as the main protagonists, revealing geometric forms and unexpected volumes that shape the emotional atmosphere of each scene. Each photograph represents a pursuit of stillness and abstraction, captured with a Canon 5D Mark III or Canon G1X. My intention is not to document a location, but to transform it into a refined and graphic composition that invite viewers to experience the quiet strength and unspoken poetry that exist between structure and emptiness.Through this exploration, I aim to give form to silence — to evoke spaces where architecture holds memory, and light becomes emotion. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement, the photographic investigations of Éric Tabuchi and Nelly Monnier, and the cinematic sensibility of Walt Disney’s art director Ken Anderson, my practice is grounded in a cross-cultural dialogue. I travel extensively through France and Europe, guided by a fascination with Morocco’s luminous landscapes, as well as the monumental austerity of Soviet Brutalism. #noicemag #photography

Photography submission by Christer Björkman: "See me!" is a project with pictures of sandboxes. More precisely, boxes with lids, usually made of plastic, with sand in them that are used to prevent slipping. The project is about seeing what we would rather not see. Or try to avoid seeing. Sandboxes are a necessary evil but few people think they are beautiful. They are almost everywhere. We tend to stop seeing such things. The same applies to some people. Often those who are a bit on the fringes of society. Like the homeless and the mentally ill. I have tried to take the pictures of sandboxes in a respectful way. Partly because I believe that all people should be met with respect. For a while I tried to photograph the homeless but it felt difficult to get images that captured their situation in a sufficiently respectful way. The choice fell on sandboxes. For me, they represent the homeless in some way. They are out in all weathers. They often look a little worn. The origin of the project was that my now deceased mother began to get worse. To deal with the anxiety I felt, I started photographing sandboxes. Photography became a kind of therapy for me. I think that the reason the project turned out the way it did is because my mother suffered from a psychological illness and that during a period of her life she devoted herself to helping the homeless. The project is in memory of my mother, you could say" #noicemag #photography

Photography submission by Rita Piludu: "To me, photographing is walking the streets and observing life. When I take photos, I have no predefined idea. I just instinctively capture what calls to me, what moves me at a particular time. I never force this process. That’s how I build my work: I let photography reveal to me what I am going to represent. As it happens, I feel like I am the first spectator of my own work." #noicemag #photography

SATURDAY SHARE!!! Every Saturday we like to round up the photographers here in the #nostr community and open the floor to share some work. It could be something you photographed this past week, a recent project you’re excited about, or even an all-time favorite image that still means something to you. The idea is simple: create a space where photographers can show what they’ve been working on, discover new perspectives, and connect with others who share the same curiosity for photography.

Photography submission by Owen Prucey: A liminal study on the human condition, where fracture gives rise to a shape that we can barely recognize. Over the past few months, my subconscious feelings led me to take random photos that represented my difficulties growing up as a Japanese American dealing with pectus excavatum, a birth defect in which one's chest caves inward. I often found myself circling back to the dualism of the underlying beauty that lies within despair. More specifically, the subject matter that I often go back to includes worn objects and composed shadow abstractions. Can something greater be formed out of despair? Does this "something" extend beyond humanity and perhaps life itself? I want my images to serve as a visual language for the "unseen" struggle, pushing the viewer to find beauty in structural vulnerability. #noicemag #photography

Submission by Liliya Shapran: "I took these pictures when I was traveling in Russia. Such lonely and abandoned houses...I wanted to keep them on my camera and then it turned into a project. This photoshoot demonstrates the loss of cultural and architectural values; it captures abandoned Russian traditional dwellings that with each passing year are decreasing in numbers." #noicemag #photography
