"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.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Of Italian mother and Corsican father, Laetitia Farellacci grew up in Corsica. At the age of sixteen she moved to Milan, where she still lives.
Corsica, with its history, its strong character, its particular energy, its contradictions, its intense colors and scents, its lights and shadows has always influenced her perception of the world. Growing up in the silence of the darkroom, passing through still life and portraiture, she ended up meeting herself with self-portraiture.
In 2020, she began working on a self-portrait project that soon became a true and profound process of inner investigation and search for authenticity.
The use of the body, combined with continuous photographic experimentation, becomes the means of perceiving and channeling emotions within herself, and then returning them to the outside world and sharing them with the viewer.
