Sofia Masini

The body is a revelation as is landscape is out! Thanks @witty_books @elsmdd @giuliaboccarossa @collezionedonatapizzi ♥️ “In Sofia Masini’s work the revelation of body and landscape is a dance, a back and forth between two bodies, but also between photography and sculpture and performance. Here there is no complete fusion and reunion. The artist engages in what happens before the complete reunion - she highlights the shedding, the conflict and the hardship of the process, the search for a unity that is in sight, but not yet happening. Her body dances with rocks, between the thirst of desolation and the untameable force of powerful waters, is scarred, fragmented and reconstructed, different, as the morphing process is ongoing. It is a beginning with no end, and activation of a new archive, a search for different equilibriums - the revelation of its traces.” Excerpt form the text “The body is a revelation as is landscape” by Elisa Medde

How hard is it to see things from another point of view? To look at them upside down, inside out, the other way around? And what’s the point of it all? Picture from “The body is a revelation as is landscape”.

Lately I’ve been thinking about rejection — not just as a personal “no,” but as a political structure that shapes visibility in the art world. Every declined open call, every unanswered application, every practice that goes unseen is not an isolated event. It’s part of a broader system that filters, selects, and ultimately defines whose work circulates — and whose doesn’t. If rejection is so central to this process, then what kinds of practices are we collectively encouraging? And which ones are being systematically pushed out, silenced, or lost? My new work begins there: not from my rejection alone, but from a shared condition. An attempt to make these invisible mechanisms visible — to open them up, to question them, and to imagine other ways of relating, selecting, and supporting each other. It was recently presented at @cameratorino x @torino.photo.festival as a way to open this conversation publicly. This is an invitation to continue it — together ❤️

Lately I’ve been thinking: if shooting film becomes a luxury, then a certain way of seeing the world becomes one too. Not everyone can afford to make mistakes, to experiment, or to discard shots. And without room for error, without that margin of error, the quality of what is produced changes as well. When that form of expression becomes financially out of reach, we don’t just lose a technique. We lose a part of how we see and tell the story of the world.

Collage is an act of release. A way of liberating images. A transformation built on trust. Analog photography holds the same tension: letting go, entering the unknown, allowing fear to disappear and mistakes to happen. Learning to inhabit one’s own body is part of the same process. It asks for the same trust. Images from “The body is a revelation as is landscape”, published by @witty_books .

A body without subject or subjection

When I first joined @micamera_milan as an intern, I never imagined that I would be able to publish my first book and to be included in the selection of the best photobooks published by Italian photographers between 2015 and 2025. It is therefore a great honor for me to be included in TIP with “The body is a revelation as is landscape” published by @witty_books , designed by Tommaso Parillo and @giuliabocarossa , with by @elsmdd with the support of @collezionedonatapizzi . This new printed edition of TIP was made for SHOW LA: the new photography fair debuting Feb 26–Mar 1, 2026 at @the_reef_la in Downtown Los Angeles. At @show.l.a , Micamera will showcase and promote Italian photography through prints and books. Come and discover the selection at the Milan store, or in Los Angeles at SHOW LA! TIP is designed by Beatrice Serra; photographs by Davide Lhamid. Project and book selection by Micamera: Flavio Franzoni, Giulia Zorzi, and Davide Lhamid.

It’s especially meaningful to me to be part of NO PLACE LIKE HOME at Schauwerk Sindelfingen, with my work exhibited alongside the great masters of Italian photography - the very artists who have inspired and shaped my journey - as well as many esteemed friends and colleagues ❤️ The exhibition presents the development of photography in Italy since the 1980s in its first major survey exhibition, showcasing how the country, emerging from the post-war economic boom, has developed its own unique photographic language. The exhibition has been curated by Ralph Goertz @iksmedienarchiv  in close collaboration with @kunsthalledarmstadt  @schauwerk_sindelfingen  and @draiflessencollection  and became the largest international survey show on Italian photography. 01.02.2026-26.07.2026 Artists: Giulia Agostini, Marina Ballo Charmet, Fabio Barile, Gabriele Basilico, Michele Borzoni, Andrea Botto, Michele Buda, Michele Cera, Federico Clavarino, Tomaso Clavarino, Carmen Colombo, Mario Cresci, Paola De Pietri, Davide Degano, Paola Di Bello, Matteo Di Giovanni, Simone Donati, Alessandra Dragoni, Cesare Fabbri, Marcello Galvani, Luigi Ghirri, William Guerrieri, Guido Guidi, Giulia Iacolutti, Francesca Iovene, Armin Linke, Nicola Lo Calzo, Sara Lorusso, Rachele Maistrello, Allegra Martin, Marco Marzocchi Niedermayr, Luca Nostri, Michela Palermo, Sara Palmieri, Iacopo Pasqui, Piero Percoco, Alessandro Ruzzier

OGGETTO/CORPO/AZIONE Questo è l’esito di un workshop collettivo concepito come spazio di ricerca e produzione condivisa. L’oggetto editoriale non si configura come una semplice raccolta di contributi, ma come una forma unitaria e stratificata, capace di accogliere e tenere insieme pluralità di sguardi e pratiche, restituendo la complessità del processo che lo ha generato. Il workshop si è svolto nel dicembre scorso presso il MAR – Museo d’Arte della città di Ravenna, su invito della @scuolaelementare.fotografia . Nel corso dell’esperienza, i partecipanti sono stati invitati a mettere in gioco la propria identità e sensibilità, lavorando individualmente e collettivamente alla definizione di un oggetto comune. Grazie a @veronicalanconelli @nicola_baldazzi @emicchio_malia @phederica.mur @mar_ravenna @osservatoriofotografico e a tutti i partecipanti!

The body is a living archive, after all.
