Aberfeldy Vision / Print
London, UK, 2021
by Luca Piffaretti
A few hundred meters south of Bow Locks, just after a turn of the River Lea, the Canary Wharf skyline abruptly appears in front of the few walkers that venture on this section of the path. In the foreground lays the last bit of wasteland in an area that will soon be home to one of the biggest new developments in this part of London. This juxtaposition depicts the city as a palimpsest, a jumble of time hard to read, with its continuous mutations that hide old layers of history under a new coat of paint.

Born in a mountainous corner of Switzerland near the Italian border, Luca Piffaretti was first drawn to photograph his surroundings while in Bologna, where he graduated with a bachelor degree in Contemporary History.
In 2012 he moved to London to attend an MA in Photojournalism at the University of Westminster where through the eyes of documentary photographers like Mark Power and Nadav Kander he developed a passion for architecture and urban landscapes.
Luca’s photography process is driven by the same inquisitive spirit that pushed him to explore the streets of Bologna, in constant research of the perfect combination of form, texture and light.
He divides his practice between commercial shoots for architects and interior designers and personal work centred on a psychogeographical exploration of his surroundings.
