We Are aVisual Research Labfor Climate SolutionsLuca Locatelliis the Artistic Director
Future Studies Lab is a research and production studio for images of the transition. It makes sustainable solutions visible through the people, technologies and practices in the making of the future.
It grows out of the work of Luca Locatelli, its artistic director, and brings together talents in various fields.
The Lab works within a culture of solutions: it starts from what already works — in laboratories, plants and fields — and studies how to show it.
Look at the present to unleash the future, and restore hope for future generations.
Every project begins in the field, where a technology or a process is actually at work, alongside the scientists and engineers who develop it.
Observation comes first, then the record: images made with precision, documented and verifiable, that read the present as evidence of what the future could be.
Years of assignments for international magazines have built a body of imagery on sustainability, solutions and innovation, across continents.
The Lab opens it to campaigns, publications and exhibitions: author images, catalogued and accessible, often impossible to repeat.
