Ascension is latest photoseries of Matthew Smith presented at Galleria Buno Lisi, curared by IKT Member Camilla Boemio. It received an Honourable Mention at the Lucie International Photo Awards 2020, in the Professional Analog/Film: Fine Art category, as well as Honourable Mentions at the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2022 and the Moscow International Foto Awards 2021.

Featuring photographs taken in London, Venice and Tokyo, Ascension explores the hidden territory of the mind and the heart, through the outer world of a hybrid cityscape. Taken during a time of deep instability in his life, which included the death of his first wife, the photographs reflect an inner journey that I needed to complete, through fear and grief, to find lasting courage and clarity of mind.

The exhibition will be on view from 13th April to 5th May at Galleria Bruno Lisi, in Roma.
