ABOUT
Born in Ferrara (Italy) 1974.
Marco Marzocchi's photography is the search for people, atmospheres and places of the past that mix with the present in order to define it and make sense of it. It is beauty in everyday simplicity and in those small details that hide joy, fear, or pain, elements that combine like in a poem.
An extremely personal and autobiographical story taken at times urgently and sometimes with patient research.
His work alternates impulsiveness and rationality, both in shooting and editing. But nothing is casual. Everything is traced back to a narrative that is both introspective and open to the outside world.
A succession of questions and answers and yet more questions, to give meaning to deep dynamics, to facts from the past, to love, to photography itself

CAHIER 10B
SNAPSHOT ET THÉRAPIE
Pas de cahier belge pour ce numéro 10 mais une connexion italo-chilienne avec une pointe neo- zélandaise.
Marco Marzocchi continue de creuser sa veine psychanalytique avec Bullet, suite de son magnifique Oyster (édité chez Void), il continue de se raconter, de raconter la vie de ses proches, de raconter un quotidien sombre mais traversé de lueurs. Bullet est une série monstre, qui semble sans fin, des centaines d’images, des dessins, des négatifs grattés, des collages, un flux ininterrompu. Nous sommes comme plongés dans son cerveau en ébullition qui cherche en permanence non pas à comprendre mais à accepter le réel tel qui se déroule, à lui donner une forme pour pouvoir l’habiter. Bullet est le résultat de ce combat.
Chris Leskovsek est un photographe d’origine chilienne, il y a une dizaine d’années il s’est expatrié en Nouvelle-Zélande. Un choc, un déracinement et une difficulté à appréhender cette nouvelle réalité. C’est par la photo qu’il a réussi à dépasser cet état dépressif, il est descendu dans la rue Neozed et se met à y errer sans fin et à photographier ce qui passe devant ses yeux. Avec son petit appareil à focale fixe, toujours en noir et blanc, il prélève des morceaux de réel, avec le secret espoir que cela lui permettra de comprendre un peu mieux cette nouvelle réalité dans laquelle il vit.
TROPICAL STOEMP 03
LA REVUE BELGE DE PHOTOGRAPHIE !
Bienvenue dans ce nouveau numéro de votre revue belge de photographie.
Vous commencez à connaitre la formule. On est maintenant un peu comme à la maison. Ce magazine vous propose 80 pages de photographies, toujours construites de la même manière, suivant la trame d’un récit inspiré d’un titre de chanson. Pas de texte. Uniquement des images. Pas de portfolios personnels, mais une longue histoire racontée à plusieurs voix.
Et ce troisième opus nous emporte dans les méandres de la foi, de la passion, et du sacré, avec le titre Personal Jesus du groupe Depeche Mode.
Nous remercions chaleureusement les trente-sept photographes qui composent cette ode, à l’heure où des IA illustrent les couvertures des magazines et où ChatGPT crée les préceptes d’une nouvelle religion.

YOGURT: QUARANTINE FLAVOUR
[…] This Yogurt flavour is a charm more than ever, made by the projection of unlived lives, of frames inhabited by lonely people. Made of out of focus identities. But also by irony and colour. Among the thousands of images we received, we have tried to isolate a tale which is as lateral as possible, with a deliberately airy but intimate connotation. This is not to wallow in a pitiless, uselessly disturbing and dull narration. We have selected eighty-seven authors to lead us into an emotive spiral. Moments of introspection are chasing more optimistic languages. And the empty room where the present has inhabited is filled with images.
Quarantine is meant to be an oniric journey because it is on the threshold of dreams that we can grasp the complexity of reality.
[…]Quarantine è un’incidente visuale. È il tentativo di catturare lo spirito di un tempo spezzato.
Questo flavour di Yogurt vuole essere più che mai una suggestione, fatta delle proiezioni di vite non vissute, di frames abitati da solitudini. Di identità sfocate. Ma anche di ironia e colore. Tra le migliaia di immagini ricevute abbiamo cercato di isolare un racconto che fosse il più laterale possibile. Per non crogiolarci in una narrazione spietata, inutilmente disturbante e monotona. Ottantasette autori sono stati selezionati per condurci in una spirale emotiva. Attimi di introspezione rincorrono linguaggi più ottimisti. E la stanza vuota dove ha abitato il presente, si satura di immagini.
Quarantine è un viaggio onirico, perché è solo alla soglia del sogno che si afferra la complessità del reale.

‘OYSTER’ BY MARCO MARZOCCHI, PUBLISHED BY VOID.
THE BOOK
The "Ouroboros" is an important symbol to Marco and his work. It relates to evolution. To being reborn. The influence of his parents on his life and how it reflects back to the way he views his parents. To Marzocchi, everything is connected.
The symbol guided many of the design concepts presented in ‘Oyster’. every book connects to each other. There are 480 different covers. Every snake is a cover of a book and the back cover of the next. Turning the 480 books into a singular piece.
‘Oyster’ is a 84 page Leporello book. This form allows the reader to have a free and non linear read of the publication. It allows a circular reading. Again, an Ouroboros

DUMMY AWARD ‘23 - BULLET
“In his captivating photobook “BULLET,” Marco Marzocchi invites us on an intimate journey through the intricacies of his deeply personal quest for meaning. Consisting of 500 images of people, archives and landscapes, flanked by short texts, poems and material which has been gathered over several years, “BULLET” forms a summary of the 48 years which make up Marzocchi’s life until now. It is a search for the right questions to ask in order to make sense of past experiences.
Impulsive snapshots and short written notes which gradually become poems intersected by archival material form a dense rhythm of questions, suggested answers and yet deeper questions. Marzocchi skillfully navigates through the complexities of his own narrative, using the qualities of photography as a medium to articulate the ineffable, to trace connections and draw conclusions through association.
“BULLET” is a nuanced exploration of not just Marzocchi’s life but also the universal quest for understanding and searching for meaning”.
