Far away from anywhere
These portraits are my personal research of what Latins called “vacatio”, meant as absence, emptiness and lack. Indeed, I try to capture the moment when the individual breaks away from his/her body, leaving a sense of emptiness floating in the air. That’s my best portraits: when I stop that instant and I don’t feel alone anymore.
Just as there’re moments when sounds can be seen by eyes, there’re things you can see only when it’s dark. Actually, there’s this shadow-shaped thing I’d define on two levels: it’s the shadow, meant as container; it’s the darkness, meant as content.
To me, shadow is as important and critical as light. It contains my darkness, the space where I’ve spent most of my life.
