Essentially

Nicola Galli (Zurich, 1983) develops a photographic practice rooted in a perceptual necessity: to understand how a minimal gesture can introduce structure and direction.

His work explores the threshold between existing and being. Through a single fold impressed into a sheet of paper, he transforms a flat surface into a vertical presence, revealing the moment when inertia becomes a position in space.

Light does not simply describe the object; it constructs its volume. Acting as a structural element, it reveals the delicate balance between fragility and stability, tension and silence.

Reduction, in Galli’s work, is not an aesthetic strategy but a discipline: removing in order to reveal. Within this process his practice moves between photography, sculpture and an architectural sensibility, while maintaining a distinct and contemporary visual language.

With the project Almost Nothing, he participated in the Milano Photo Festival, where it was selected as the opening exhibition.

He lives and works between Italy and France.
