I am a collector. Ever since I can remember, I have been collecting everything, particularly my own things as a sort of memorial. The only complication I have is the space. Collecting requires a lot of physical and mental space, which led me to find ways to let things go. I have realized that, to be able to throw anything away, I first need to celebrate the detachment by taking pictures of it. By then, I convince myself that what I have collected will somehow survive, especially using films as they don't leave me empty-handed. The project Therapy is photography used as a remedy to an addiction

Cataloging ordinary objects in series, Tommaso Sacconi’s photography is focusing on a conceptual research on existential themes such as memory and identity.
