Beyond time, out of time, and suspended in time, Oltre il Tempo gathers the photographic work of Isabella Tortola. Moving from north to south with quiet stops in between, Tortola documents an Italy both bucolic and introspective. Her lens wanders through suburbs and hidden corners, framing rural scenes alongside towering trees and seas that turn amber under the daylight against a backdrop of deep blue.
Yet within this stillness lies a sharp undercurrent of tension. These landscapes feel held on the threshold of movement, where anything could happen at any moment and everything could suddenly change.
Presented with text in both Italian and English, this 100-page volume from Lyricalmyrical Books is published in a first edition of 75 copies.
