Biography
Oliver Bernardi (b.1991) is a photo-based artist exploring the tension between impermanence and preservation, presence and absence. Through darkroom-based processes including contact printing, photograms, and analog compositing, his work functions as a quiet act of reverence — tracing the invisible weight of time, memory, and transformation. Drawing on symbolic elements from the natural world, Bernardi creates images that act less as documentation and more as devotional objects: vessels for the unrepeatable moment, the edge of a veil, and subtle proof of presence — of what was briefly here, and still lingers.
