Pachamama

  • Photographer
    Simone Pellegrini, Italy

Pachamama is an occupied farmhouse in the outskirts of Rome. A
group of people lives there and they want to create and share a
sustainable and repeatable model of occupation, based on the
urban regeneration and the ecological conversion. The occupants
have faced logistical, climatic, structural and politics (many)
difficulties, but they have taken on this challenge transforming the
house into an habitable, social and rural place. The project
touches common life aspects in a precarious housing condition.

Born in Rome in 1979. Graduated in Economics, he began a course of study that leads him to approach the style of reportage with a particular penchant for stories related to social and anthropological issues.
