He currently lives in Palermo and collaborates with Italian and foreign magazines such as L'Espresso, D - La Repubblica delle Donne, GQ International and The New York Times. In 2005 he undertook a trip throughout South America on a photographic project based on the portrait and landscape.
The exhibition consists of a selection of diptychs, realised during Lo Cascio's through Argentina, Patagonia, Chile, up to the extreme strip of the Land of Fire, can be viewed not only as an act of crossing of physical borders but also as a crossover of mental boundaries. Each diptych is composed via the juxtaposition of the image of a landscape with a portrait, presented one next to the other, linked by a mutual and mysterious energy, captured by the artist's glance. Emanuele Lo Cascio is aware of the fact that in every single landscape there is a portrait and vice versa, and both tell stories of everyday life, which are not ephemeral but lasting.
