The etymology of the word cave comes from the Latin crypta, which in turn is derived from the Greek term κρύπτω, which means «hide, cover, conceal». In this project, the photos of 24 Italian caves are hidden with a black film. A reflection on the true nature of the cave, a dark and mysterious place that is revealed to the human being only thanks to artificial lighting. What normally appears in the photographs of the caves is hidden here by permanent darkness: the true reality of a cave.
