Laura Ceretti, Milanese, photographer, lives between Milan and her favorite place and source of inspiration: the Engadine,
Always fascinated and in love with peaks, woods, lakes and glaciers, she has investigated their most remote and hidden corners, transporting them into her works, photos taken with a drone, collages and site-specific installations.
After his artistic training and a long professional career in the world of graphics, advertising and publishing, she obtained her drone pilot's license in 2017 and since then has dedicated himself to photography, following his very personal path of eclectic transfiguration of images.
She has exhibited in collective and personal exhibitions in Milan, Lugano, St. Moritz and in the 2021-22 winter season along the “Wald Galerie” woodland in the La Punt Chamues-ch forest.
“Ars Aquæ Fontis” is the name of her latest project, still on exhibition in Celerina, created by immersing photographs in the eight fountains of the village, in a constant dialogue between nature and urbanisation.
This is her first participation in Nomad 2025, St. Moritz, with the project “Tribute to Nature” presented by the Blanchaert Gallery in Milan.
Shots reworked in material forms where his intervention is not just a technical element, but a visual language: a continuous journey between majesty and reality, appearances and illusions, dimensions modified by a sensitive, exquisitely feminine imagination.
The grandeur of nature and the mountains lives again, transformed, in the images by Laura Ceretti, who also establishes the delicate relationship between man and the increasingly critical and fragile environment. And so the tracks of the snowkites become elegant calligraphic fragments, the duplicated and multiplied high-altitude shots are transformed into a natural kaleidoscope, the corners of a wounded and decadent nature offer a creative reading and bright flashes, hints of beauty and golden preciousness.
A transformation in which the soul of the mountain, the sparkle of the snow and the lakes, the details of the breath of the woods are interpreted with enchanted amazement evoked by carpets of dry needles, parched soil, thaws, disorder of trails, traces and drawings that tell stories of men and animals in the eternal succession of seasons and in the infinite metaphor of life and its transience.
