"On my 4th attempt I finally got inside here. Always overlooked by neighbours and a police station right next door, it always seemed tricky as it was hard not to get spotted. This was a grand villa which was probably the main residence of the owner of a nearby factory. It had beautiful grounds with large tropical trees and an incredible oriental themed greenhouse. The villa was mainly empty apart from rooms featuring grand fireplaces, frescoes and a large skylight. I loved the emptiness of this room apart from this single chair and the dramatic lighting coming in from the mostly shuttered window behind" Isolamento is part of acclaimed photographer Gina Soden’s series – How Long Is Now (2020). This is a series that plays with a powerful paradox. At first glance, the viewer might think the photographs only depict the past: past dreams, past lives, past structures. In fact, Soden’s work really talk about the present and our perception of passing time. This series pushes the viewer into a profound reflection about the meaning of time, and our understanding of the present moment — of Now Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm Giclee print, a premium quality paper, which is perfect for Gina Soden's brightly coloured and textured images.

Gina Soden, artist and photographer, is available at Wychwood Art. At the heart of Gina Soden’s photography is a preoccupation with abandoned structures and locations. Based in London, she travels widely to undisclosed sites throughout Europe and explores the boundaries of beauty, decay, nostalgia and neglect. The genesis of each piece is often the unique architectural character of each location, heightened by their painfully slow transformation after years of abandonment.
