Luca Iovino, The Name We Hold, 2024

Disko Bay are proud to present the dark, fun and mysterious first monograph by Italian photographer Luca Iovino, an exploration of the ritual repetition of the household and the feelings connected to moving from one home to another. Black and white aesthetics rhythmically enhance the imagery in The Name We Hold. The book explores themes and symbols that guide the photographer in illuminating a fundamental question: where does memory reside? Could it be found within the people themselves, the homes they occupy, or even within the dreamlike and surreal aspects of reality? These elements form a boundary within which Iovino conducts his visual exploration, seeking to define the concept of home and a sense of security during times of displacement and life transitions.
