Overview

"My interest is directed at exploring those geographical and human territories that are isolated, precarious and forgotten".

VIEWING ROOM -  SUITI

I am moved to dwell on those geographical and human spaces, isolated and unknown, which coexist in a habitual way in our daily lives, but which are not the object of our concern because we live in comfort and do not need to worry about their existence. In many cases, given the difficulties of accessing them, they simply do not appear on maps.

My experiences with the local people, the fieldwork in these territories and the captures made through the media I work with: photography and video provide me with a "raw material" that is then reworked, re-interpreted, from my personal point of view, whose intention is to achieve the viewer's awareness and reflection on the human life that takes place in these territories that are difficult to access.
