Expansion 167 - the city goes up
The work "the city goes up", specifically, focuses on the building development of Foggia, a city in southern Italy. The area named "167" represents a typical model of urban planning: large plots of agricultural land are acquired in order to implement new urban development plans, based exclusively on the unrestrained construction of new residences. The model adopted redesigns the boundaries of the city in a radical way, modifying the surrounding landscape, where the environment and nature must inevitably leave room for an indispensable growth of buildings.
I turn my attention to photography thought of as an art form, always trying to bring out a conceptual impression from the chosen work, beyond the technical specificity or stylistic style in question.
Essentially, I prefer a stylistic development based on the "Landscape", focusing my attention on the relational dynamics of man / landscape, by searching for matching processes and pertinent transformations.
I decide to present my works at international photo contest and awards, including the MIFA (moscowinternationalfotoawards) 2016 where I get an honorary mention in the Fine Art-Portrait category with a self-portrait, TIFA (tokyointernationalfotoawards) 2016, achieving a Bronze as the third ranked in the Architecture-Buildings category and an honorary mention for the Fine Art-Still Life category.
