Behind the work
From the basin where the Locatelli Refuge stands, one of the most recognizable natural stages of the Dolomites unfolds. To the right, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo rise like three vertical bastions, rock icons that need no introduction: compact, severe, immediately legible even when the light recedes. To the left, Monte Paterno dominates the scene with a darker and more irregular presence, less celebrated but equally charged with tension, a mountain that seems to silently observe what happens in the valley. In between, the space remains open, like a natural corridor where light and clouds move unobstructed.
The day had begun without a precise photographic intention. After creating Lightboomb, my goal was not to chase other images, but simply to experience the Tre Cime for the first time away from the chaos of summer tourism. To stay, walk, observe. Yet, as often happens, it was the atmosphere itself that suggested continuing. The light had been a protagonist throughout the day, even in its most fleeting moments, and I felt it had not yet said everything.
I pushed slightly above the Locatelli Refuge as the sun set, invisible behind a compact cloud cover. There was no sunset to observe, but an end of the day to listen to. It was there that I found that small natural ramp, a line of terrain that guided the gaze towards an isolated block of rock, almost a golem, distinctly detached from Monte Paterno behind it. To the right, the Tre Cime remained recognizable and still; in the center, a last gap of light persisted between the clouds.
That light no longer illuminated, but hinted. It was the residue of what had characterized the entire day: brief appearances, interruptions, fragments. The Last Moment originates from this final threshold, when one is no longer looking for the shot, but is still willing to recognize it.
