title
Vertigo
These are places that lose their function of welcoming, containing, protecting, and beyond which it is not possible to go. Ambiguous, extreme, altered and alienating places, frontier places, places of disorientation, places that challenge common knowledge and perception.
Will it be possible for man, in his vacillating and uncertain escape, to go beyond its borders to implement a radical transformation of his own identity and to realize a project of shared experience? Will he be able to find a place that can be defined as "final"? And will a new beginning be possible there?
“Tried to save myself but my self keeps slipping away” (NIN)
Rome, Exteriors of Tiburtina Station (Italy) 2022
Graduated in architecture, but with an eclectic nature and great passion for the arts which allowed me to train and work also as a graphic designer, light designer, dancer and choreographer. I’m approached photography many years ago starting with an analog camera.
The space-time decontextualization and abstraction, the search for rhythm in the subjects represented are the fulcrum of my photographic work, which derives from a dynamic approach to space, in which reorganization and reinterpretation processes come into play. Photography allows me to show a different dimension, where the impression of reality can merge with a dream projection, connecting more with the emotional sphere than the rational or narrative one.

entry description
Transitory spaces, spaces where the world with its rules ends. Intermittent spaces, which rapidly decompose and recompose, slippery spaces. Spaces of interdiction to reject and isolate.These are places that lose their function of welcoming, containing, protecting, and beyond which it is not possible to go. Ambiguous, extreme, altered and alienating places, frontier places, places of disorientation, places that challenge common knowledge and perception.

about the photographer
Born in 1979 in a family of artists, I live and work in Italy.Graduated in architecture, but with an eclectic nature and great passion for the arts which allowed me to train and work also as a graphic designer, light designer, dancer and choreographer. I’m approached photography many years ago starting with an analog camera.
