"I Am Gomorrah" Project Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

ENZO “PITBULL” Armed robbery/ Actor I was 13 when they shot me in the back. At 13 I was already quite big, didn’t seem I was that age. Some people asked me if I wanted to take part in a bank robbery, I didn’t know much at the time, didn’t realise what it was, they told me it was an easy job, I only had to scare people. To do that they put a machine gun in my hands. I had never shot a gun before, I didn’t know how to use it. We walked into the post office and robbed it at gun point but as we got out, there were police everywhere, waiting for us, pointing their guns. It was supposed to be an easy job...when I saw them I freaked out and started shooting. I don’t remember pressing the trigger, it’s like that thing started shooting on its own...it was shooting in all directions, I had to throw it to the floor to make it stop and then I ran. I only made it a couple of metres when a bullet hit me in the back, after that I don’t remember anything, I lost consciousness. Luckily I met a good judge, he understood I didn’t know what I was doing, I was only 13. A friend of mine was not that lucky... the three of us tried to steal a motorbike at gun point, but we had such bad luck. The guy on the motorbike was a policeman. He told us to go away, that he was a police officer, and as we left he pulled out his gun and shot my friend. He fell down in a pool of blood. The other friend of mine tried to stop the cars in the street to get help, but maybe in shock, he still had his gun in his hand and nobody would stop. At the end he called the police himself, but when they finally arrived, they worried more about making the arrest than about my mate on the ground, he died on the way to hospital. All that is over for me now, I don’t want that life anymore. It brings only tragedy. Now I want to be an actor, like in Gomorrah. In Gomorrah I kill a woman. It’s great to commit crimes without having to do the time, just for fiction.
