A wedding in Sant' Arcangelo, Lukania, the region in South Italy between Calabria and Apulia. The groom is the poet of this place who emigrated years ago but has come back for the ceremony - Domenico Brancale. The artist has captured the tradition, sobriety, and laughter of this party.
A wedding in Sant' Arcangelo, Lukenia, the unknown region in South Italy situated between Calabria and Apulia. The groom is the poet of this place who emigrated years ago but has come back for the ceremony - Domenico Brancale. Clemens-Tobias Lange, a friend of the family, has captured the tradition, sobriety, and laughter of this party. Due to the filigree and originally photographic process on Japanese and Chinese paper, the pictures get their sensually dreamy impression. More than just photographs, they are pictures of everlasting inner aspirations.
Clemens-Tobias Lange, born in Berlin in 1960, studied painting under Emilio Vedova and design under Ennio Chiggio in Venice. Above all, he is known for the 'Livres d'artistes' of his edition 'CTL press', founded in Hamburg in 1988. Since 2003, the Italian publication für writers 'à Camàsce' has been published once a year in summer in cooperation with Domenico Brancale (editor).
