About the Item
In a world dominated by digital precision and instant gratification, Pia Clodi stands as a beacon of nostalgia and unpredictability, finding beauty in the fleeting moments captured through the lens of her SX70 Polaroid camera. Her journey as a contemporary photographer is a testament to the allure of chance and the allure of imperfection in an increasingly homogenized visual landscape.
Clodi's artistic practice harkens back to the slower, more deliberate processes of early photography, where each shot was a delicate dance between light and chemistry, and precision could never be guaranteed. It is this very unpredictability that draws her to the Polaroid medium, where the post-development revelation of an image becomes a moment of serendipity and fragility.
Through her lens, Clodi captures the quiet poetry of everyday life, finding moments of beauty in the mundane and the overlooked. Whether in the bustling streets of cities or the serene landscapes of nature, she seeks out the subtle interplay of light and shadow, form and texture, to create images that evoke a sense of calmness and sensuality.
Clodi's process is deeply rooted in the tradition of passively observing and collecting moments as they unfold, rather than actively seeking out subjects or scenes. It is in these chance encounters that she discovers the true essence of her art, finding beauty in the unexpected and the unscripted.
Drawing inspiration from pioneers of early photography such as Anna Atkins, Eugene Atget, William Fox Talbot, and Louis Daguerre, Clodi pays homage to their dedication to capturing the essence of life in its purest form. Like her predecessors, she eschews realism in favor of focusing on form and traces of life, seeking to capture the fleeting moments that define our existence.
Clodi's work is a testament to the enduring power of analog photography in an increasingly digital world. By embracing the unpredictability of the Polaroid medium, she invites viewers to slow down and savor the beauty of the moment, to appreciate the subtle nuances of light and shadow, and to rediscover the magic of photography as a form of artistic expression.
In a world where images are often fleeting and disposable, Pia Clodi's photographs serve as a reminder of the timeless beauty that can be found in the most unexpected of places. Through her lens, she invites us to see the world with fresh eyes, to embrace the imperfections and uncertainties that make life truly beautiful.

Pia Clodi
Pia Clodi’s works encompass moments and mementos from her countless walks through cities as well as naturescapes. These chances, between or during photographic assignments, to illuminate an object, a person or an instance, were quietly collected by Pia Clodi, on her SX70 Polaroid camera. An incredibly poetic practice, of passively capturing calmness and sensuality within otherwise lacklustre material and forms, enables Clodi to inject beauty in the everyday, and invoke nostalgia for quieter and slower experiences. Inspired by processes of creation, and early practices within photography, from the likes of Anna Atkins, Eugene Atget, William Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre. Clodi’s work focuses on form and traces of life, over realism - whilst capturing stillness even through movement.
