BIOGRAPHY

PETER CASAGRANDE

In each of these works there is a common denominator: the birds-eye view of an urban jungle. The beauty of these cities lies in the lens through which we perceive and envision them. Each composition immerses the observer in a heightened awareness of scale that defines the space, oscillating between grandiosity of expansiveness and the intimacy of confinement. In these large-scale photographs, I strive to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider the familiar. I am driven by the desire to challenge the boundaries between reality and seemingly its imaginary one.
