Simulacra (2009)
Simulacra is the essay I'm working on since one year circa. Project rationale the following: A Simulacrum. The representation of a God, an image that does not correspond exactly to reality. Modern society, Baudrillard claims, has replaced reality and meaning with symbols and signs and has become so reliant on simulacra that it has lost contact with the real world on which the simulacra are based. These photographs are, to this respect, simulacra of simulacra. Small votive altars that populate Sicilian nights, often neglected, and to some extent, more and more anachronistic. Mysterious, dilapidated, illuminated or not, abandoned, overwhelmed by galloping ...
Impressions of NYC (2007)
"Yet Another": A humorous allusion often used in titles to acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content is. This is probably my case: Yet another set of NYC photographs. Impossible non to replicate some other's works. Difficult to resist to the Big Apple sex appeal. For this reasons I decided to publish my "Impressions of NYC". Yet another tribute to a city symbol of movement, dynamism. An irresistible place. Open Impressions of NYC in Portfolio >>> [slideshow id=9]
Wrecked Dreams (Lampedusa) – 2009
Thousands of tourists flock every summer to the island of Lampedusa off the coast of Sicily. They mostly come from the northern part of Europe of from Italy for the beaches, the turquoise waters and the cliffs. But there is more happening in this small chalk plateau in the middle of the Mediterranean. Flocks of immigrants (36.000 boat people between Feb 2008 and 2009), with the dream of peace and of a better life pictured in the eyes, with desperation for escaping war, try to cross that wonderful sea with improvised boats of all kinds. A voyage of hope from the south ...

Refinery Flocks (2006/2009)
Refinery Flocks is the resulting project of the previous Refinery Flock (2006), Refinery Again (2008). It comprises a selection of the photographs of both projects plus some new photographs taken in late 2009. The project is visible under "Works->Refinery Flock" on the Portfolio. Nature is able to adapt. Recently, for instance, great catastrophes, as petrol spills in the sea, did not produce, in some cases, all the predicted effects thanks to the extraordinary resilience of ecological systems. Our planet evolution, even if only in the last century heavy marked by the so called “industrial progress”, always showed an exceptional adaptation ...

“…la bellissima pasta di cui è fatto lo scatto. Quello che oggi i fanatici del digitale chiamano “noise” e fanno di tutto per rimuovere….”
Parole sante…
Eh, a mio parere tra grana della pellicola e “noise” ce n’è ancora tanta di strada da fare: la prima mi piace, il secondo ancora no.
Ciao
