Real life is having to wait

Francesco Sambati is an Italian photographer. His distinct process combines digital photography with the activity on Polaroid film to explore themes of landscape, absence and the unconscious. How can these three themes meet, what does that look like? Sambati investigates in his work.

“I realized there was no need to look for situations where waiting was the protagonist, because waiting was already there, present: it is everywhere, in everyday life, in small gestures."
