2001-2007: Lack & Longing is a profound and visceral photography monograph by Italian artist Lorenzo Castore, published by the boutique imprint L’Artiere. As part of Castore’s ongoing chronological project, this volume captures the raw energy of his life across Poland, Italy, and France during a period of significant personal change. His grainy, black-and-white imagery moves away from traditional documentary toward a “psychology of the everyday,” where the mundane—unmade beds, fleeting street encounters, and dimly lit rooms—becomes a site of intense emotional resonance. The title reflects the duality of human experience: the “Lack” of a fixed center and the “Longing” to belong, presented through 164 pages of cinematic, deeply subjective visual storytelling.
