Dario-Jacopo Laganà (www.norte.it) is an Italian
photographer living in Berlin for 10 years. After spending some
years on travel photography (especially in Middle East) and
photojournalism, he decided to inspect studio photography with
experimental portraits projects - DEAF (taub-sordo) and
Chunks of Soul - and to work on interior and architecture
photography. From his personal interest in the Second World
War and the Cold War, he started the blog Elephant in Berlin
(www.elephantinberlin.com), to provide documentary evidence of
the city and its changes, of the historical places, buildings and curiosities on Berlin
and Brandenburg. The combination of photography and history has brought him to
develop several projects and collaborations during the last years.
