Carlos Gulisano
Bio
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1950. Geologist and amateur photographer. Along his carrier used the photography as a tool working as field geologist, so his principal area of focus was and is landscape photography and nature. Besides that, his area of interest expanded to travel, cityscapes and street photography and, in the last years, to night photography combining starry skies with diverse landscapes. Recently, 23 of his photographs were used to illustrate an entire chapter of the book “La Universidad en la Manzana de las Luces” by V. A. Ramos (Edited by EUDEBA, Buenos Aires). He was awarded in both national and international photo contests and exhibited his work in individual and collective exhibitions in different parts of the country.
Statement
Carlos Gulisano is a geologist, a profession that has led him to investigate the origins and evolution of the earth and to travel through different regions of the world. At the same time, throughout his career as a photographer, the author devoted a large part of his attention to landscape photography and in recent years, attracted by reading texts on astrophysics and the origin of the universe, he began to take night shots combining landscapes of different latitudes with images of the sky, the stars and the northern lights. The set of images presented on this occasion, which do not intend to be astrophotographies, try to recreate a dialogue between the terrestrial landscape, the diverse but finite nature of the Planet, close and accessible, and the universe, with an infinite and unattainable aspect, that surrounds it in a ghostly way. In the words of the author: “Nothing more mysterious than a landscape on a moonless night, illuminated only with the last glow of twilight or with the timid light of the stars. Nothing more moving, on a cold winter night, than a clear sky with the arc of the Milky Way extending to infinity".
