SPECIES

Il dormiente – simile in questo al folle – intraprende attraverso il suo corpo un viaggio macrocosmico: grazie allo straordinario affinamento della sua autopercezione, i rumori e le sensazioni dei suoi organi interni – pressione del sangue, movimenti intestinali, battito cardiaco e tensioni muscolari – che nell'individuo sano e sveglio si perdono nella risacca della buona salute, generano le immagini del delirio o del sogno che ne danno una traduzione o spiegazione.


Walter Benjamin, I “Passages” di Parigi, (1927-1940).


The art
of photography that measures itself with his age. The human species shapes thebody in an endless profiles and changes with the changing of the several nuances of experience.
"Species" as a temporary army of persons in transformation, that evolves
showing the themappearance, latent, disturbing, unsettling, ironic.
The objective lays bare the humanity of those who move into the urban space and interactwith it.
Mutants that inhabit a suspended scenarios cities, the same that the absent-minded passerby does not note and that the lens is able to focus, highlighting suggestions, difficulties and contradictions. They are bodies that tell an everyday landscape from adifferent, other angle. They whisper, crystallize expressions, stop on paper a large emotional spectrum that accompanies the encounter with the other, with an unknown to us,however, very close. These environmental portraits can capture the human species in itsmost instinctive form, the form in which beauty emerges beyond the purely aesthetic codes, and the body itself, filtered by experience, returns obsessions and flattery, revisiting itself up to become a means of representation.
The photographs were made​​, mainly in black and white. More than wanting to alleviate thediscrepancies color of the faces, as if it tends to emphasize a return to the past, to memory,as if the species you are telling the story, they were not evolutions of a contemporary urban environment, but a childhood memory, faces deep-rooted in the memories but to the moment they were captured. Almost the reminiscent of an encounter far in time, forgotten and rediscovered only now. And, perhaps, the vividness that these forms take on in the  suspension of the illusion, is the awareness that they were tracked down after a while, theglare and flash of light of the discovery.
