Born in 1985 in Schiltigheim, near Strasbourg in Alsace, Alexandre Di Pascoli trained as an engineer but has always nurtured two passions: history and architecture. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he travels across France and the world in search of places marked by time. At every stop, his camera becomes the faithful witness of a gaze both sensitive and structured.

Under the pseudonym “Eye of Isis”, Alexandre defines himself as a photographer of modern times, devoted to a discipline at the crossroads of art and exploration: Urbex. Short for “urban exploration,” Urbex refers to the discovery of places abandoned by man. Mansions, churches, hospitals, factories, asylums, or deserted castles: these forgotten vestiges become for him silent cathedrals, inhabited by light and the ghosts of History.

His preference goes to prestigious buildings — castles, townhouses, and estates with faded décors — for their fascinating blend of past grandeur and poetic decay. Each photograph by Alexandre Di Pascoli asks a question without answer: how could such magnificent places fall into oblivion?

Between memory and erasure, ruin and beauty, his lens captures the soul of stone, with the precision of an engineer and the reverie of a visual poet.
