Photojournalism: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Living in their own world. Voices in their head. Saliva that governs by itself. Legs and arms that have their own itinerary. Special chairs with particular adjustments and anchorages. Happiness and sadness together and alternated. Long silences and unexpected cries. Regards that focus on the infinite. Assistance and attention up to the unbounded. Cables that generate their own connections, many others that go to their outputs. The fear that lives in the anteroom of the absurd and the inexplicable. A mind that creates its own predictable world by force of a repetition of something rather incomprehensible. Living on the frontier of rational resistance, of a self that does not recognize itself.
tied to invisible forces with basic memories and instincts.
AUTHOR
I am preparing a book of photography entitled “Streets of the World and their People”. I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that corresponds to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone's world, a journey into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social commitment. Visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail, a fixed temporality that captures movement, a state a vaster space.
Images that aim to reunite us with the common man, using a simple visual grammar that reveals the value of the everyday hidden life. They are the time of the people and the people in their time. Photos are the expression of my intuition, perhaps of my desires, my own synthesis of the world condensed in a moment. I hope these images arouse more suspicions than certainties in a way that is possible to speculate with them to open paths of contrasting narratives.
I like to walk around the city and photograph what spontaneously appears, but not all, a piece of landscape and the reality and the fiction that goes with it. Walk without a script to rewrite a monograph of the place with my steps, periods and images. Catch lights and shadows of the twilight that escapes little by little through the camera. Conceive an image in the span of a presence that transits. Focus on a smile, a necklace or a look. Give room to the universe in an instant and guess the mystery of the light that becomes metric.
