Yann Longobardi is a photographer and author based in Marseille. His work explores the effects of time on landscapes, objects and everyday spaces, revealing the subtle poetry of what we believe to be familiar.
Through his attention to the mundane and fragments of silent lives, he questions our relationship to territory, intimacy, and the environment. His images compose sets of negative space, where the visible allows larger narratives to emerge, rooted in a society searching for its bearings.
Yann Longobardi's photography is a love declaration to Marseille, where this self-taught artist has put down roots. Without resorting to clichés, it captures the raw romanticism, the languor, and the incandescent energy of the city.
