About

Perfection makes me uncomfortable, because I perceive it as illusory. Instead, I feel at home and I get excited when, in my exploration of reality, I come across the note that is slightly at odds with the orderly balance one generally aims for.
I can perceive and understand the actual beauty of order but, more or less unconsciously, I always find myself looking for the little distractions everywhere in a world that – to varying degrees – strives to be impeccable.
My eyes get captivated and my imagination starts working when it comes into contact with these tiny distortions within a harmonic system; perhaps because I grew up in Rome, a city where the majesty of imperial, classical and ecclesiastical legacies is constantly diluted in the noisy habits of the Mediterranean. These off-key notes amuse and reassure me, as they lead me to imagine how they were generated. By exposing them, I recognize and accept the fundamentally imperfect and paradoxical essence of the human condition.

The use of this spontaneous point of view within the documentary stories that I choose to represent, allows me to share an affectionate, positive and participatory vision of diversity, of the undervalued and the extravagant.

I live in Marseille, France.
