Known for his black-and-white photography and background in biology, Lempert turns his lens to the subtle presences of animal, vegetal, and mineral life on this remote Mediterranean island. In a series of quietly observational images, he documents the island’s micro-ecologies with the precision of a field biologist and the sensitivity of an artist attuned to form, light, and chance. Eschewing dramatic framing and post-production, Lempert relies on natural light, analog processes, and a sharp sense of timing. The result is a slow, intimate portrait of a place where natural history and daily life are intertwined, and where the ephemeral and the enduring coexist. More than a record of a specific geography, Local Ecology. Kastellorizo explores themes of observation, belonging, and the fragile ecosystems that sustain life in isolated environments. The photographs were taken in the summer of 2019 during a residency at La Società delle Api in Kastellorizo, Greece, conceived by Cristiano Raimondi.
