Black Skew is a journal, an ongoing series, which deals with a different photo/graphic theme each time. It includes photographic visual research, artworks and visual explorations in each issue.
Its creator, Skew, an italian graphic designer and photographer from Umbria living in London defines it as “I went out, I walked, I lost myself, I found something new”. This expresses the desire for research and discovery, linked to walking in the city, in different yet unseen places, to moving forward, linked to the principle of finding something new along the way, make it your own, bring it to light, show it to others.
It is the refusal of immobility, the need for freedom and vitality of the movement. The places become the starting tool, the journey the focal point of the whole.
The project brings to light the restlessness of living, the continuous disconnection and reconnection to the real world, the search for a fundamental and necessary meaning that escapes the speed of time in finite/infinite space, finding it in yet unknown places, those that exist but which have not been crossed yet, which become a source of inspiration and research, necessary for the creative act.
Transport in the city, travelling, crossing states, flights, the view from above, like the one from the human plane, the destabilization, the rapid change of perspective, crossing the world, airports, roads, the fast viewing from the train, the departure of the plane, everything that emerges from stasis, from immobility.
