“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. Double or long exposures represent the fugacity and all the ephemeral of images that reveal human figures, animals, places or roads, which overlap each other recreating something that is definitely detached from reality. The human figures, many times representing women, are somewhat the "guardians" of memories, those to which we inevitably link many of the emotions we carry with us. Water, a symbol of life, is another element in the project. In any form, placid or agitated, it is however capable of carrying any kind of memory, sometimes towards the shore, sometimes towards the open sea. The series also contains other elements that are part of our life, which becomes daily "special" because it is soaked with something we carry inside. So a road or a fragment of nature assumes a special value, because it is embedded in a time that is just like it was for us. Despite the absence of clarity, or sharply defined realism, "Esprìts" should be considered a documentary. It is about myself and my visions about the different experiences I lived. 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 film 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; the memory that deforms reality... often what we remember and what happened do not exactly match; the memory is filled with desired contours.
