I like peculiar places and people with good stories. I like to discover them, get to know them and photograph them.
I tend to contruct stories about myself or about the things and people that I surround myself with. I like to believe that these micro – stories have the potential to make people empathize or be intrigued in a way or another.
Photography is the medium that best suits me to contruct narratives, to make personal observations, to document and archieve memories and experiences which otherwise would blur with the pass of time.
I play with the images that I take and install them in different ways . I reuse old pictures that I took and reinvent the frame that links them, I put them in different contexts.
I like to call this artistic approach - although quite improperly- an ‘apropriation’ that aims to find new forms of expression.
