WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA.- All About Photo presents Filippo Poli, winner of the April 2026 Solo Exhibition Contest, with his powerful project Alpine Hiatus: The Snow No Longer Tastes Like Snow.
In this deeply personal series, Poli revisits the landscapes of his childhood in the Alps, only to find a world profoundly altered. Blending archival family images with contemporary photographs, he creates a quiet yet striking dialogue between past and presentbetween memory and reality.
Alpine Hiatus reflects on the fragile state of these mountains today, where natural cycles give way to artificial interventions, and where a sense of loss becomes impossible to ignore. Both intimate and universal, the work invites us to reconsider our relationship to the landscapes that shape usand what remains when they begin to disappear.
Filippo Poli is a Milan-based photographer and trained architect who has been working with architecture studios, foundations, and publishers since 2008. His personal projects focus on cultural landscapes and the evolving relationship between humans and nature.
