Formae Mutevoli
"Formae" is the latin term for "shapes". In philosophy it's the essence of things: the "ideas" are changeless and give shape to the world.
"Mutevoli" means "ever-changing", a word in direct contradiction to the previous one.
Our reality is constantly moving: everything flows and merges endlessly, nothing is as it seems.
In this series of works I try to highlight this paradox, uncovering the many visual contradictions of our reality: it's an investigation of the relationships between the natural world and the artificial one, between nature and men.
Experimental Photography
(analogue)
This series is made through analogue prints that have been exposed to a process of material deconstruction: starting from my own portraits I used orange spray paint and fire to create the effect of a mold.
A parasite of the mind, where negative thoughts, directly onto the prints, become loud and intoxicating, to the point where death = peace.
Silence is the absence of thoughts.
Short poems
These short poems are the result of using a marker on the transparent sheet, blocking the light and creating a negative effect through the prints. Using transparent objects I achieved shapes that could be overlayed on the words, sometimes the words themselves would overlay on top of each other, using a different weaker marker.

The Moon Is down
the Pleyades,
Midnight
the hours flow on
I lie Alone

We are as
