Born in ’83, Carla Sutera Sardo approached photography during her university years. After the initial approach to photography marked by experimentation with self-portraiture, she devoted herself to the observation of the most unusual and uncontaminated aspects of Sicilian nature and matured a personal language. Sutera Sardo’s research focuses on the communication between women’s bodies and landscapes with the intention of bringing back to the viewer images with a dreamlike character, suspended in time and space.

The Sicilian component breathes through the shots of the photographer who opens the doors to us about her personal vision through the camera. In AQVA, Carla Sutera Sardo’s subjects immerse themselves making it possible for even water to become an instrument. Just like the camera, constantly searching for new combinations of light.
The new condition of fluidity of bodies brings new combinations, shifting the plane of interpretation of the image from reality to illusion. The doubly ephemeral images born of the random dynamics of water leave a sense of mystery, almost suspended in a moment that does not really exist. The bodies appear deformed, but the play of light and color makes them incredibly harmonious.
