Alias Interpreting Something Else Ph Sara Scanderebech

Alias presents “Voices from the lake”, a photographic project by Sara Scanderebech

Alias is pleased to present Voices from the lake, the new chapter in the editorial project Interpreting Something Else, signed for the 2025 edition by photographer and visual artist Sara Scanderebech.

Protagonist of the project is the Tagliatelle armrest, designed by Jasper Morrison, an outdoor seat that, in Scanderebech's images, transcends its function of use to become a symbol of stillness, introspection and conscious presence. Through a refined photographic language, “Voices from the lake” explores the relationship between object and landscape, the visible and invisible. Details of nature, objects and bodies combine to generate new contemporary symbols: visual metaphors  

that invite an experience of listening and contemplation, in which human presence is evoked, but never made explicit. Each shot is a suspended pause, an invitation to slow down, to inhabit the natural space with attention and respect, letting oneself be guided by the subtle sounds of water, wind, and flowing time. An analogy with photographic practice itself, understood as an exercise in patience, waiting and discovery: the silent 

search for a visual epiphany that can be as expected as it is unexpected. “Voices from the lake” is an invitation to inhabit these places not just by looking, but by listening, with eyes closed, allowing oneself to be immersed in the subtle sounds of water, wind and the quiet breathing of nature.” Says Sara Scanderebech. "Voices from the lake" was born within Interpreting Something Else, the editorial format launched by Alias in 2023, which tells the

brand identity through the eyes of contemporary authors. Each edition proposes a new reading of Alias products, transforming them into narrative tools capable of dialoguing with ever new visual languages. With this project, Alias confirms its commitment to enhancing design as a cultural form, and to promoting an aesthetic of reflection, where the object is not only function, but also imagination, emotion and vision.
