Photography as an Act of Presence and Inner Narrative
I began photographing in the 1980s, portraying tourists along the Romagna Riviera.
I am drawn to an oneiric, decaying, nostalgic dimension. I have no preferred subjects; what guides me is always the feeling an image evokes. I do not search—I wait: for a small point of light, an unexpected movement, a shadow. I love the intimacy that the camera allows me to experience, a private space suspended between my gaze and the world.
I like to think of photography as an act of presence and inner narrative. Each image is the response of a moment to the question: “Who am I?” It is a symbolic and open space where inner experience takes visual form.
My background intertwines the languages of photography, theater, and psychology, converging in a research practice focused on exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the threshold—understood as the space between recognizability and dissolution.
At the center of my work is the idea of a beauty that emerges from imperfection. My gaze is directed toward the crack, the wound, those silent traces that reveal the uniqueness of one’s presence in the world.
I have participated in exhibitions and publications, continuing to develop a practice that remains in constant evolution.
