Antigravity: a picture book to explore the relationship between man, verticality and nature

If you think that Antigravity is a book of photographs about nature, or even better, a collection of images about ice climbing, we have to disagree: Antigravity is in fact the result of a five-year project, a long period during which the protagonists explored the most remote icy regions of the planet.
Antigravity is above all a "vision", a journey from Russia to Iceland, from Kazakhstan to Greenland, where an innate passion for wild environments and a deep spirit of exploration led Thomas Monsorno (photographer) and Dani Arnold (mountain guide and professional climber) to combine their talents to speak to us through evocative images.

Thanks to Thomas Monsorno's sensitivity, we follow perspectives that play with light and shadow, icy surfaces whose textures are created by the interplay of water and cold, and human figures - such as Dani Arnold - that populate these spaces that are generally considered inaccessible.

Ice, an element that has no colour of its own, and which, for this very reason, is able to create unique plays of colour, is the protagonist of many of these shots: with its shapes, it makes us lose our sense of distance, which we can only recover thanks to Dani Arnold's adventurous spirit, which tries to climb its most aesthetic lines.

Lines, crevasses, geometric shapes, grooves in the snow, the silence of the ice and the presence of man give ample scope to our imagination, which can follow its own paths and give voice to the emotions that these images can evoke in any climber or extreme adventure enthusiast.
