We often use the spotlight as a way to make the invisible visible, bringing forward what we and you feel inside, the parts we sense yet we don’t say.
It always begins from our lived experience: when we meet others, their inner worlds brush against ours, almost feels like noticing the blurred edges of our surrounding landscape with eyes half-open.
Sometimes these spotlights take a material form as small plinths or planets, every circle a small universe to explore.
What’s the image that resonates the most with you? do you also feel this soft hidden membrane when meeting someone else’s world?
hey new friends! we’re stefano and alberto, aka scandebergs.
we love making images about bodies, thresholds, and the strange layers of magic that appear when everyday life slips out of place.
this images are from LIMINAL, our ongoing series exploring the oblique, the uncanny, and the in-between.

How does it feel to get lost in a familiar place?
We envisioned this story ten years ago, shot in our house, on our street with the aim to look again at the familiar with new eyes.
What happens when we treat the ordinary as unstable, let the domestic become theatrical, allow the known to forget itself?
Perhaps a wish to rewild perception with our surroundings and reopen our doors to the unknown.
tell me, have you ever felt the same way?
We’re back in Lanzarote for a volcanic start to 2026, so it feels like the right moment to resurface one of our (still!) favourite stories we shot here on the island almost ten years ago.
just a small flash, our first medium format camera, and a couple of days spent walking the volcanic and super windy terrain (dramatic sunsets were a bonus!).
lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how places carry a kind of enchantment, in this case I feel our images were guided as much by the landscape as by us.
I think some places cast a particular spell, either instantly or infused in the distant memories of it.
What are your enchanted places? 🌋✨
What happens when the edges of our body dissolve? We drift into the unconscious,
into primordial memory, into the lives lived in-between.
The first image from our new series, DISSOLUTION PROTOCOL, @Scandebergs (2025).
Shot underwater and featuring @lydiapettit , part of our ongoing cross-disciplinary collaboration.
