Markus Iofcea is an artist, photographer and future archaeologist based in Zürich, Switzerland. His photographic work revolves around the continuum of human existence.

He believes that a deep understanding and intentional use of natural light is essential to his craft, as it is fundamentally linked to the perception of time - a critical element in his future archaeological work. He is not satisfied with just reproducing reality as he sees it. He wants to tell stories and create new possibilities that go beyond the conventional boundaries of perception. In essence, his primary focus is to shoot photos about something, rather than simply of something.

As a future archaeologist, he digs up and interprets the traces of possible futures. As a photographer he is preserving the present with each click of the shutter, transforming these moments into artifacts of a different time and space. By immortalizing the here and now, he constructs a visual archive - a repository of the now, much like the future-bound archaeological relics he uncovers from the untold tomorrow. One frame at a time.

Markus works with a variety of photographic formats spanning across digital and analog.

You can find him also on two YouTube channels:

The M Photography - photography channel
futur3zone - futures literacy related channel
