"LORONERO" is a project that concerns one of the many problems that the African migrants of the slum of San Ferdinando in Calabria live.
Every year thousands of refugees are concentrated in Rosarno for the collection of oranges, they are a remarkable resource for the local economy but the management of the migration flow and the question of illegal immigration entails enormous difficulties for housing and the regularization of laborers.
These conditions favor delinquency and malfeasance, different economies are grafted to the limits of illegality and exploitation in search of a compromise to guarantee survival.
The conditions in which migrants live are inhuman, the slum is a melting pot of ethnic groups and cultures that live a precarious psycho-physical balance, in unacceptable and risky conditions.
During my studies in political science, I learned about photography and so I started with my first works.
After some collaborations with Musica Jazz magazines I started to photograph the territory in which I live with particular attention to portrait and reportage.
The latest works concern immigration and the integration of migrants in Calabria.
The photos submitted are part of the last two works:
- "Human" exhibited in Venice in 2016
- "Black Orange" a look at the laborers of the Piana di Gioia Tauro
