goliarda

Inspired by the beautiful words of Italian writer and artist Goliarda Sapienza, goliarda is a sensory tale made of skin and paper, which explores the physical and intellectual desire as a vital energy. It is a photobook project that tells how, in a period of severe mourning, the illusion of love, desire, physical and intellectual attraction, helped me rediscover the simple and essential joy of a kiss on a bare shoulder. Through the different supports and the manual developments leaving marks on the film almost as scarifications, I explore the urgency of expressing what I felt, and the need to keep those feelings alive.
