    Gold in Special / Science / Technology

Light plays a leading role in the origin of life on Earth, as it is responsible for the abiotic synthesis of the first enzymes, which are fundamental for metabolic process. To pay homage to its fundamental role in triggering the first 'vital sparks', in this photographic series of the “InvEarth” project I have used an experimental technique that, without the use of lenses, allows the refractions of light particles, the photons, to be portrayed at the instant they interact with matter.

Simone Arrigoni (Rome, 1973) is a classical pianist, Freediving world champion (26 World Records) and an awards-winning photographer (FIOF Italian Photography Ambassador in China 2017 & Underwater Photography Festival Ambassador) with more than 170 Awards in the most prestigious International Photo Contests, publications and worldwide exhibitions (China, Crimea, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Singapore, UK, USA).
