I simply photograph what surrounds me and what happens to me, like a ritual that occurs without me even realizing it. I don’t wait for the right moment; I don’t want to dramatize a story. The shots thus become a way to carry with them memories and the bodies I perceive. I want to create contact and intimacy with my subjects—people whom society defines as “strange” or, in more extreme cases, even “sick”—who, in my opinion, hold significant social importance. They are usually my peers, children of a time lacking in unity and spirituality, dictated by ruthless dynamics that lead to a cold, individualistic existence.I don’t use explicit language; there are no scenes of drugs, sex, or violence. In Zoo, I explore the absurdity of daily life in my generation. The sense of inadequacy is part of life itself, felt in any situation, from the most extreme to the least. I want to capture, in a cathartic and sometimes ironic way, those moments when discomfort has already passed but remains in a light form—a halo, a patina that I can only describe through photography.In Zoo, I also discuss lightheartedness and innocence, disturbed by something subtle and impalpable that I cannot name but can only give form to through a photograph. A part of me clings to this period of my life when everything seems both easy and difficult. The subjects exhibit a characteristic trait of those years that refuses to leave their minds or bodies. I seek moments of disinhibition when my subjects forget to check their image. I want to make ordinary things special. I want people to view life differently, but everything must be rooted in reality.it’s a comment on human but also a behaviors and yet a transfiguration of common. “The Endgame” The games had ended a long time ago, we were left alone with a handful of dreams in our pockets which soon became sand, the wind carried it out into the sea where they were lost forever. The lucky ones got the few remaining grains right in their faces, they got their hands and clothes dirty and remained with a child spirit, all the others became adults forever.
