Francisco Negroni is a world-known Chilean photographer that has won six international awards for his outstanding shots of erupting volcanoes. In 2011, he made himself known with his photos of the eruption of Cordon Caulle volcano in his home country. « I never really thought about becoming a volcano photographer. It came naturally. When I saw my first eruption with my own eyes in Chile, that’s when I knew I wanted to continue taking pictures of such explosions in my life », he reveals. A technician’s job that perfectly combines the changing natural elements from one minute to the other.
The basic structure of a landscape is present in every piece. But each
panel or concentric layer shows a different slice of time, which is
related to the adjacent panel/layer. The transition from daytime to
night is gradual and noticeable in every piece, but would not be
something you expect to see in a still image.
I am fascinated with the intersections. Intersections are places
where boundaries break down, and these are areas where really
interesting things happen. Boundaries are comfortable and static.
Intersections are troublesome, but nevertheless worth exploring. In
particular, I am interested in the intersections of the sciences, art
and technology.
