Variations on a theme of absence
unpublished dummy, 2018
26 x 39 cm, 50 pages
Created during the ISSP 2018 International Summer School of Photography: Photobook as Object workshop by Yumi Goto & Jan Rosseel, this book is the result of how a one week workshop can evolve a initial architecture project into a more profound topic: depicting a fake, surreal, artificial Swiss society, the book combines uninhabited architectures with axonometric maps and fake objects. Bound with bolts, it gives a sense of heaviness and discomfort while reading, in relation with the content.► take a look inside

About
Gregory Collavini (b. 1988) is a Swiss-based documentary photographer, art director and concept designer. He holds a degree in Visual Communication from the Lausanne University of Art and Design (ECAL). He also has a certificate in Leadership and one in Brand Strategy and Storytelling.

Acting as a Swiss army knife in design, his fields of competence are set in art direction, multimedia visual design, photo editing, digital and print layout, UX/UI and book making.

Gregory’s photography works focus on human environments, traversing architecture, landscapes and urban planning. With a strong interest for human-centered experiences, he believes in rational and meaningful design. Usurping expected scenarios, challenging the everyday, he is fueled by an unending sense of curiosity.
