Alessandro Gandolfi - Silence #1

Anechoic, from the Greek “priva di eco” (devoid of echo): this is why entering Ferrara University's anechoic chamber in Italy is a mystical experience. Sound does not propagate, you gradually lose balance, and from initial euphoria you shift to an unsettling feeling of disorientation. Perhaps the ideal condition for performing a concert, as violinist Martina Monti is doing. This photograph comes from a photographic project devoted to silence and has been published by several outlets, from the Italian La Repubblica to the French Revue XXI to National Geographic Italia, where it became the cover image of issue 5/2020. The image is signed on the back and measures 30x40 cm. It is printed in a limited edition (25 copies) on Hahnemühle Baryta FB 350 g/m² paper and is provided with a certificate of authenticity.
