Apuane
by Joakim Kocjancic
Apuane is the name of the marble area around Carrara in Italy. The famous white marble that Michelangelo used for his sculptures came from there. There is a long history that lies behind this place, already from the Roman times people where extracting marble from those mountains. The people of Apuane have been dominated by many cultures and they always reacted in a rebellious way. Anarchism rooted itself in this area at the end of the 18th century. I want to show through a strong visual language the energy and the proudness of these people and the love that I have for them. This is a personal documentation of the people and of the atmospheres that I met while living there.
A strong story. Why did you wait 5 years?
Hi Joakim, I’m a photographer and I live in Sydney but I’m originally from Carrara and I love your images, they really show the spirit of the people from the Apuane.
Nice Work
Hi, difficult to find magazines or other ways to show this work…I’ve been trying.
But in one way I think it’s a timeless story, doesn’t really matter if its from five years ago.
Ciao Andrea, happy to hear your comments…I hope the do. I love Carrara. j

Hi Joakim, are your pictures shot on film?

Hi Joakim, I voted for you, check out my series, it’s called SIdni - a photographic essay, I shot it on a Nikon FM2 using IlFord 200, 400 and 3200.
ciao
Great to see your pics here. Good luck!
ciao Kim, bel lavoro. chissà con quale passo sei entrato in quella umanità . le facce zingare poi, mi portano sempre lontano da qui. bello, grazie.
Like this maybe, maybe… even more than Paradise… not sure yet
great work! love the bw style
regards!
Nice series, it’s good to see your work published!
Great pictures!
I like this series very much! I hadn’t gone trough them properly before. I think they are vibrant and there’s more in the pictures, while Paradise is more behind the picture.
You have two sides: a Swedish and a Italian, obviously the Italian is the one I love the most
Cool runnings!
Thanks Olli, appreciate! C u jk
