Inside Pompeii: Origins of a European Way of Life | Photographs by Luigi Spina

The photographic project by renowned artist Luigi Spina, was undertaken during the COVID-19 lockdown, when Pompeii was closed to visitors.

Taken during a period of unprecedented stillness, Spina has curated thirty-eight large-scale works for this exhbition, offering a rare glimpse into the homes of the ancient city in a moment of timelessness connecting us with our ancestors.

For nearly two millennia, the lost city of Pompeii lay buried beneath layers of ash, preserved in extraordinary detail. Through the lens of a purpose-built camera, Pompeii is brought back to life in these artworks.
