Artist’s Statement:
“Esprìts” is a project-diary, a series of photographic notes about faded memories that often appear like spirits. These photographs are instinctive, evolving over time and form a body of work that I hope will never end.
Despite the absence of clarity, or sharply defined realism, “Esprìts” should be considered a documentary. It is about myself and my visions of many things. It is a series of photographic notes about faded memories that often appear like spirits. In general, these blurred photographs are instinctive, evolving over time and form a body of work that I hope will never end. Anyone can see something personal in these images that are not defined precisely because they leave something imaginary to the others. For this kind of work, my Holga camera, simple and light, represents the ideal travel companion, where the travel is represented from the life, with its experiences and emotions which constantly overlapping. I think that this project is referred to my intimate and strictly personal way of seeing and image the reality that sometimes I cannot define.
