February 23, 2020, in the street, the sound of music... it was carnival and people joked as if the pandemic was something too far. White masks, white weapons, danced close to each other until dawn. Dark omens.

10 days after, there was only silence.

Sicily - Palagonia - 23 Feb 2020

• Biography
  Andrea Scirè is an Italian street photographer based in Treviso. Sicilian by origin, he founded fotostreet.it, recognised among the 45 most recommended street photography blogs worldwide. His work has been internationally awarded at PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris (Gold 2017), IPA New York (Second Prize 2017), and TIFA Tokyo (Silver 2019), among others. He approaches street photography not as a genre but as a way of seeing and inhabiting the world — a practice that crosses documentary, portraiture, and human observation. His series have been exhibited internationally.
