Behind a window blind

  • Photographer
    Turi Calafato, Italy

In our daily life we are detached from our innermost soul, we carry on
lives as drones. We keep running all day long without a real purpose,
and our daily actions are often done mechanically, like the act of
eating, shopping, traveling and working. I decided to try to photograph
the loneliness and detachment of people in their daily life. I choose on
purpose the window of a big corporation, because a window like that
could be seen in almost every city in the world; the seats of this eatery
are single, so the act of eating, that usually is a communal act, is
reduced to a solitary action(as many other moments of our lives).
