Photography: works, researches and exhibitions




2006 photographic documentation of historical heritage, comune di Ostellato, Ferrara

2000-11 collection of material about repaired manufacts in Asia. Forms created by daily minimal spontaneous attempts to repair, maintain and improve buildings and things. Repairing and reshaping of things by occasional tools and poor and recycled materials. Particular attention is paid to the production of hybrids, through the contamination of traditional and contemporary materials and techniques and the mixing of components from different contexts. The world here described is one that improvises, makes ends meet, invents solutions as it goes along. Everyday, spontaneous solutions are portrayed, where the scarcity of resources suggests the creative use of the little which is available with no waste and instant responses. The result is a creative work in progress.
