Lift

A multitude of different people, ages, cultures, ethnicities, religions and backgrounds pass by and gather in the lift cabin. And here the opening or closing of the doors offers us authentic and unfiltered snapshots of each of them. There are those who yawn, those who close their eyes, those who pose and those who hide.There are those who have not even noticed your presence or those who are ready to pull faces at you as soon as the doors close. Some greet you and some turn their back to you, some get caught off guard and roll their eyes, some bow their head and look down or simply smile at you

Mimmi Moretti was born in Catania in 1966. A few months later the family moved to Paris. It was in the French capital that he was culturally informed and where he began, thanks to his uncle, to take pictures and familiarize himself with the dark room. At the age of 20 he started working as a freelance photographer, collaborating with a few magazines. Towards the late 90s he returned to photography. It was in 2014 that he first displayed his photographs in a collective exhibit in London. He is always attracted to technical experimentation developing different and original styles.
