Maurizio Cigognetti, Night Swimmer (PEOPLE 2025)

Night Swimmer is a poetic dive into darkness and suspension. The body, immersed in silence, floats at the border between control and surrender. Shot underwater at night with analog film, each frame captures the eerie calm of the deep and the raw elegance of human form. These images explore vulnerability, weightlessness, and introspection, rendered in monochrome to evoke memory rather than documentation.
