la memoire et l’oubli (MEMORY AND OBLIVION)

The main subject of the series is a collection of objects from immigrants from various countries. These objects are treasured by them because they come with a family story. It reveals how an object can become the only physical connection an immigrant has with their past and their country. These are intimate stories of very personal relationships, most often between grandchildren and grandparents, with the older generations often still living in their country of origin. They reveal a different culture and a different reality, and through the photography and the text help us to connect as human beings in our universal values.

Men overexposed

Project in progress. A series of big format photographs. With the help of studio photography I explore the possible expressions of the male body. My subjects are generally common men who allow me to observe them through my lens and guide them in an open dialogue without any pretentious form. In some cases we start from a conceptual idea, in others we simply start with a classic portrait. In each session the dialogue is given in a different way and the photos are digitally worked individually. This process allows me to reflect and communicate my personal feelings about the psychological states of the masculine.

shadow of my father

Project in research. My father was a sick man who carried an emotional imbalance. He lacked will and he was like that even when he was young. My father was a mystery for me. He seemed only a large body that was hard to touch, a big sculpture of pain. He did not speak so much but he decided the action and feelings of others who live with him. He had a power that I can't still understand.
