Photograhpy as a space between memory and perception.

My artistic practice moves between photography, theatre and visual narration. I create images and installations where reality and imagination meet, transforming everyday elements into visual narratives.Each project begins with an image that needs to become real. Through photography, moving image and performative research, I explore the relationship between body, space and perception.My work does not seek to reproduce reality, but to transform it into new possible worlds, creating experiences in which the viewer can enter and participate.

Works

Città Invisibili
Photography project & installation
2024- ongoing

Città Invisibili is a photographic project inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Through a visual reinterpretation of the literary work, the project explores the city as a symbolic space where identity, memory and imagination intersect.Combining photography and theatrical composition, the series transforms real places into imagined worlds, creating visual narratives in which bodies, architecture and fiction become part of the same dramaturgical space.

OUTERLAND
Photography project
2025

Outerland is a photographic journey through Sweden and Denmark, developed during an artistic residency in May 2025. Moving away from portraiture, the project explores landscape through an essential black and white language, focusing on silence, absence and the traces left by human presence.Empty roads, isolated houses and suspended environments become fragments of a geography of solitude, where the landscape itself becomes a space of memory and imagination.

U(N)SEND explores the representation of the body in the age of digital image circulation. Through the tension between intimacy and visibility, the project investigates the relationship between self-perception, vulnerability and contemporary forms of looking.Developed as an expanding visual archive, the work questions dominant representations of the body by focusing on presence, imperfection and individual identity.

Disposable HolesVideo Installation / Research
