Giacomo Costa
My Final Piece |
Giacomo Costa is a French and Italian. He is primarily concerned with photography, which he often digitally alters in order to generate a futuristic urban landscape. These amazing apocalyptic images borrow their aesthetic from science fiction comics and film, where architecture takes on a colossal scale.
Costa has been creating imagined dystopian landscapes through manipulated photography for over twenty years and exhibiting all over the world. He depicts towering city metropolises that eerily emerge from fog or peek through unchecked nature, some of his work is based from films such as 'Bladerunner' and real life situations like Chernobyl. In Costa's 'Aqua' and 'Secret Garden' series he studied the natural environment gradually reclaiming the urban, man made landscape. Costa further researches the relationship between man and nature in the series 'Landscapes' the artist explains that this series 'represents the total defeat of nature which, having triumphed over man and having reclaimed it's space, takes upon itself the indelible signs that the senseless behaviour of man left'. The exhibition 'Landscape 2012' juxtaposes these two representations and views of possible future landscapes. |
