Today there are no borders between countries, towns and cultures
and everything is pervading everything else and is constantly evolving.
Understanding how the Italian contemporary town can be perceived
can help us understand the way we live, being it the place where
above all the historical strata are evident in their physicality.
Architecture reflects and materializes the society that has created it:
images of life, successes, defeats, dreams of an epoch are made
concrete in its stones. Through its continuous presence, it helps us to
understand who we are, because it places us in space and time.
In the society I live in, everything is splitting up in an accelerated pace,
everything is prone to fragmentation and to speed in a kind of post-
futurism where eventually everything becomes liquid.
These photos are thought as a patchwork reflecting this mix, an hybrid
between virtual and authentic, where it’s difficult to understand what is
real and what is not, because everything is brought to the same level
of attention.
Our awareness is therefore suspended and the tension between these
mixed realities loads the picture of an hypnotic character, while we
stay still searching for what is our reality.
