Off the Mark is a long-term series which moves from an intimate and personal reflection about the relationship between human and nature. It depicts mysterious places at times occupied by a number of installations addressing a sense of inquietude and ambiguity. In his pictures Diego draws a space in which the human element is blended with the natural in a strange and mysterious way and in which ribbons, trees, roots and rocks are primarily a status of mind.
About author:
Diego Brambilla is an Italian artist based in Zürich, Switzerland, who graduated from the London College of Communication with an MA in photography in 2015.

He received the LifeFramer award, the PhotoX award, and it has been selected and shortlisted for Voies Off Arles, Athens Photo Festival, and PhotogrVphy Grant.
