About The Work
Magela Crosignani´s "Something is always far away¨ explores the idea that no matter where we go to find meaning for ourselves there is always something unreachable and that ultimately our nature can´t be altered by any culture or role we may devise or by the failure or denial of any of these. Our presence is of a transitory nature, we inhabit these landscapes looking for meaning and a sense of purpose. We devise ourselves, create an identity and find something we ought to do. This project follows such journey through the landscapes of Pennsylvania, Los Angeles and India.
Magela Crosignani is originally from Uruguay and holds a BFA degree in Film from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and a Masters degree in Cinematography from the American Film Institute. In the last decade Magela has shot a number of feature films as Director of Photography which have led her to receive numerous cinematography awards and to participate in some of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. Magela´s love for lighting, color and composition can be seen in her new photography series "Something is always far away" which explores ideas of displacement, identity and the need to find meaning in our lives.
