CHOCOLATE WOMEN (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The disease is also known under the name of “chocolate cysts” given to the dark color of their blood content. In women, the blood flows and regenerates. Within us, he rots inside. Within us, it digs and crumbles. It digs in relationships, digs in pleasures, he delves into the work. And day after day it crumbles the opportunity to give life to their life. The women I photographed, women like me who suffer from endometriosis, they wear a red garment: the color of blood, the blood that rots in our body and does not want to leave. ears are passing by, they are 7 years now and no one recognizes my pain. There are painful mornings, when you take a pill from a blister of Tora-dol, and you take it whenever the pain becomes unbearable. There are antithrombotic stockings, memories of an operation hidden in a drawer.All these women have found a way to move forward, to exorcise the problem. These photos are my way to express it. I wanted to show their faces because as with any disease, the disease is the main character, the disease identifies us, before a name and a story.
AUTHOR
Born in 1983 in Turin. I’m an art director and I love photography. The moment I decided that I wanted to capture the reality is when I saw a documentary from Annie Leibovitz, and since then my hunger for photography has kept growing day by day.
I started photographing objects and things, but I understand that you can create greater empathy with those who looks at a picture, when you are in front of a human being in his/her extravagance, his/her defects and peculiarities. I love black and white. I love the synthesis of a picture. In my photographs I try to mix these elements as much as possible, to create something that can excite the viewer.
In 2015 I received an honorable mention in the IPA (International photography awards). Category: People-Children.
In 2016 I received an honorable mention in the MIFA (Moscow international foto awards). Category: People-Portrait. Project: SUNDAY BEST
In 2016 I received two honorable mention in the FAPA (Fine art photography awards). Category: Street photography. Project 1: The playground of silence. Project 2: The only one on the road.
“Enduring time” has been my first solo exhibition in Genoa, on november 2015.
