La fotografia cattura attimi e racconta storie attraverso l’obiettivo, trasformando il modo in cui vediamo il mondo. Ātman Journal esplora come questa forma d’arte, in costante evoluzione, influenzi la cultura e la società, offrendo nuove prospettive visive e narrative.
As far back as in the 1930s, during the times of the Great Depression in the United States, a group of photographers such as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Jack Delano, led by Roy Stryker, Head of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), kept restlessly recording views which were soon destined to fade into obscurity. The […]

Asymptote uses architectural sites that are authentic to the era of socialism. Places, former symbols of power and greatness, elevated in order to make the person feel small. Today they stand still, stripped of essential purpose, abandoned or forgotten like gravestones of their former glory. Asymptote merges past and present, by reflecting on one at […]
La Bergerie de Faucon is a special home where young people are reintegrated through contact with animals. I document this moment of rupture for young people, who are in transition between the worlds of childhood and adulthood. Located in Rougon, in the heart of the Gorges du Verdon Regional Park, the Bergerie de Faucon was created […]
Birmingham in August can feel like October in my native Italy. I was taking a stroll through the city centrein, but the rain and wind forced me to take shelter in the public library. As the howling wind rattled the windows, I walked slowly through the hallways on the top floor filled with books and […]
In his series, Under a New Sun, José Castrellón looks inward at a chapter of his life that has shaped him, perhaps outwardly too, in search of what lies ahead. Every moment and every decision are a turning point in what seems to be an eternal process of becoming, of living between a yearning for […]

L’obiettivo di questo progetto fotografico è infatti raccontare la sensazione della ricerca continua, ma non costante, di quei giovani adulti che tentano di trovare un segnale.Ci troviamo nel ventunesimo secolo e viviamo in una società dove le automobili sono […]
Transhumance è una testimonianza sul valore delle tradizioni nel nostro Paese.Un viaggio quasi primordiale, un salto indietro nel tempo dentro quella civiltà agropastorale che tanto ha significato e tanto ancora significa in Italia. Tradizioni tramandate di padre in figlio, rituali e gesti che si ripetono e si rinnovano nel tempo. La transumanza è un legame […]
UXO stands for “Unexploded Ordnance”. This photographic work seeks to testify to the danger that persists after the Vietnam War. I have first traveled to Cambodia and discovered many minefields. After doing some research I realized there are still many land mines in the ground that injure and kill today, despite nearly 50 years since […]
In 1857, Napoleon promulgates a law which obliges a massive planting of maritime pines in the “landes” of Gascony. Already existing in the wild, the pines are supposed to “sanitize” this then marshy land. It is actually a matter of keeping up with the industrial revolution. This decision will mark the end of the traditional […]
