This series inspired by Greek Mythology. Not the common and most known myths, rather I get inspiration by less known stories. I used original photo of palms, as visual and symbolic reflection of the myth because I think that Ancients were strictly connected with the realm of nature while it still keeps nowadays a deep connection with the realm of archetypes, with which we have few conscious relations. It's like an Ariadne's thread. Every photo is related to a specific myth. 

Inspired by classical greek mythology 

this collection will gather my self-portraits from various project 

Self-Portraits

This series investigates water as a surface to go through, to cross, even to scratch, or, at the opposite, a solid flat surface reflecting images more or less abstract. This is an invitation: after a first moment of possible disorientation, the viewer may restructure the forms through tangible clues, it is an encouragement to a mental reorganization. Through the thread of his visual sense he might eventually go back to the tangible figure that has generated the image. 

The series was shown at Le Forme dell'Assenza Le Forme dell'Acqua, 2 solos exhibition, 2012 December 12 - 2013 January 10, Galleria MAD, Rome.


Water_Forms

this series is part of a larger research about variation on the same theme: different human marks on object that are part of our collective everyday life (windows, lampposts, etc)

lamppost

Windows are like living being’s eyes, breaks into the building’s texture that recount the story of those who lives there or has hung out at. They sway in between the open invitation to share intimacy and the fastened banishment of a separating screen. They are like our country’s borders, dictating halt or hinting at a welcome. Anyway, they always preserve marks of who has passed there. 

windows

Another point of view is an open project of photos and compositions inspired by quantum physics. I am collecting a number of photos where I purposely change my point of view shooting from above. I try to reproduce the point of view of a scientist, I imagine to watch people living their everyday life seeing through the lens of a microscope, distributed as electrons in an experiment. I attempt to be like quantum physicists trying to live the paradox of objectively observing life, knowing that I am affecting it at the same time.
