Wood and iron skeletons of ships abandoned by their crews of years or decades past are stranded on beaches and in intertidal zones the world over. These relics occupy a liminal space within the landscape and within our collective memory, monuments slowly decaying and being reclaimed by the landscape and water. Shipwrecks represent fragments of our history, of human endeavour remembered and forgotten. These silent witnesses preserve the echoes of journeys and observe the changing environment.
Photographer, sculptor, architectural and naval model maker, Stefano Benazzo has shown his work in many exhibitions all over the world. His photos have been used for book covers, and have been published in well-known art magazines. He has been awarded the title of “Accademico di Merito” by the Accademia di Belle Arti “Pietro Vannucci” in Perugia, Italy (January 2018), the “Special Prize of the Jury” of the Carlo Marincovich Prize, Rome (April 2018), and the “Acqui Ambiente” Prize, Acqui Terme, Italy (June 2019)”.
