0,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% is the staggering window of time in which the Universe will be able to host life as we know it. We, plus all our history as mankind, plus all the history of life on Earth, plus all our future and the future of everything else we know, are having the incredible chance of living inside that small point many zeros 1 percent. I haven’t mumbled too much about it before this lockdown brought all our minds, literally, back to Earth.
.
On top of that, Life on the only planet we have had gone thru many mass extinctions, say 5 were the biggest, generally because of asteroids impacts, magmatism, solar flares, supernovae, climate changes, ocean anoxia, maybe planet axis tilt and.. epidemics.
.
Given the above percentage, and all the other odds, it seems fair to say that while every single form of life is a statistical miracle, there’s no word to define the luck of being inside a self-conscious one. Yet, rather then organising ourselves in the most logical ways to give every human being dignity and the chance to explore his potential we still live by the most shortsighted plans. Especially now that governments around the world are trying to fix the unfixable society that randomly came to be before and in which we managed to live with various hard-gained degrees of freedom. .
My hope is that everyone of us would use this time to think what does matter to him, now that the infinite growth narrative has been ripped apart, to envision his future as a non competitive part of the society, and then speak up for it. Read and connect with other people who are trying in these days to push for a better tomorrow, fair for everyone. As we are extremely lucky to be here, it makes no sense to keep wasting time.

🪐LS XI #24, Tenerife, 2018.
I wasn t sure if to keep posting these images during these times we re all living thru. As when walking to grocery shopping, all the ads and billboards that made little sense before they now look helpless and absurd. Addressing needs not needed that only existed in the cultural bubble we floated into in the last 60 years or so. Now the fabric of the former normality is ripped apart and we have the chance to rethink ourselves. To be honest, is my photography needed for that? I don t think so. Ok, finally let it go and keep posting as something extra but all my thinking in these days goes to the new future we could be building together. I cannot think to go “back to normal” because things weren t normal at all before. Fixing this virus without trying to fix also everything else makes no sense; not aiming to a society where shared resources are distributed fairly between people would be a great failure. We re anesthetized to the point that we find normal to justify that profit comes before human. People lived in precarious conditions in societies awash with wealth, some left behind in the streets, some others spending their lives doing underpaid jobs that don t represent them and some others using their time accumulating money they didn t even have the time to spend. At the same time now governments around the world are mobilitating immense quantities of money to save their economies, or at least to try to. States do have the power to redistribute wealth more fairly between people, they do have the power to guide us thru the big challenge of climate change, and we have the right to not being affected by the fluctuations of this ubiquitous monster known as “the market”. Human and Earth rights come before profit. Let s make it a new start for everyone. .

160x128cm (63x50,4”)
.
High resolution scan of pigments and solvents. Limited edition on www.lucatombolini.net .
.
.
”In this series i wanted to play with Space, Time and our faulty perception of them. The series is made by Landscapes and Microscapes. The Landscapes are referring to an altered Time by the play of very long and multiple exposure, so creating an image that didn't exist within the realm of my perception. While the Microscapes are man made compositions of colour pigments and solvents on a plastic sheet, later scanned with a very high resolution drum scanner. With the help of it i went searching into those tiny composition for the same plays of colour and shapes i'm normally looking after in a landscape, hence investigating the repetitiveness of the same patterns from the very small to the very big.
.
In particular, landscapes are shot in Canary Islands, in different times between the sunset and the noon of the next day. Combining long and multiple exposures on film, especially on large format film, proved to be very difficult to master technically as any error at any stage would have wasted the film. In fact the whole series grew on this trials and errors and i had to say goodbye to many shots which i liked, either because of mispositioning of an element or because of miscalculation of the whole exposure. While all Microscapes were created during sessions of experiments with the "pigments and solvents" technique in my studio in Milan in late 2018. It took me almost one year of experiments to pin down few rules that granted a vaguely repetitive result out of the creative chaos generated by dropping colours into solvent agents laying on a plastic sheet. Finally, while watching the series growing, i had the feeling that looking with the scanner into that micro Space was like looking into the Cosmos with a powerful telescope; hence rhyming with the idea of patterns repetitiveness across creation”.

"Vistas is composed of multiple exposures shots on 4x5” negative film and Microscapes, high resolution scans of colours & solvents compositions, dealing respectively with our perception of Time and Space. Departing from my previous landscape works I aimed to create images that present an altered Time dimension, through the use of multiple and/or very long exposures. With these images, I wanted to suggest that the nature of what we feel as the flowing of Time is more likely to be a different entity which doesn’t share the same qualities that we naturally perceive, and of which we cannot get to understanding at the moment. Similarly, the high resolution scans reveal new landscapes that exist on a scale too minute for the naked eye to see. Yet I’ve tried to find in that micro space the same aesthetic qualities I normally search in a landscape” .
