Looking for the small crack
in ordinary reality.

Savva Locci is a London-based photographer. The practice began in Hong Kong, where daily walks through markets, transit systems and dense streets established a way of working built on close observation. It continues in London, using the camera to test how place and attention shape what is noticed.

The starting point was a 2004 photograph of a fly resting on mesh. Made in Hong Kong, the image turned a small, overlooked encounter into a study of scale, texture and attention.

Locci works while walking. Photographs are made in streets, stations, markets and transitional spaces, then edited slowly into thematic and geographic sequences. Rain, moving figures, shadows, signs and built structures recur, but the aim is not a fixed visual formula. Images remain when they hold more than one reading.

Time in Hong Kong established the practice’s density and pace. Work made since moving to London has introduced more space, slower transitions and a different relation to weather and architecture. Together, the two bodies form the core of Puttering around in the Oecumene.
