"Declare peace" comes from a deep need. Lower your weapons and make peace with yourself, learning to be simply and authentically with what you have in that specific moment, whether it’s joy, pain or a total absence of feelings.
A series that wants to be a hymn to reconciliation with your own soul.
These self-portraits, made with the double exposure technique and without the aid of a remote shutter, come to life like magic.
A rendezvous between technique and heart, where the feelings allow the body to find its own space and shape through the portrait.

Laetitia Farellacci (1977) is an Italian-French photographer whose research has developed over more than twenty-five years as a space for personal and visual exploration.
Growing up in the silence of the darkroom, she explored various photographic languages until she found her own expressive territory in self-portraiture and the forms of nature. Her practice investigates themes related to roots, identity, and memory, gradually opening up to a vision in which the separation between subject and world is blurred.
Her Corsican origins have profoundly influenced her sensibility: the island where she grew up until adolescence continues to permeate her work through atmospheres, contrasts, light, and matter.

The self-portrait becomes for her an instinctive space for experimentation, in which the body is an instrument of listening and crossing over. Each project stems from a process of perception and inner transformation that translates into a visual narrative capable of going beyond the individual story, opening up to a broader and shared dimension of experience.
