Psicotropie
Subjects dialogue with themselves so that proper choreographies are created in an interplay of glances and movements finally directing to the prime portrait, who contains all of its own simulacrums. Each photograph in this series tells a story, and the setting is always chosen by each subject with relation to his/her own being and passions, so that it becomes like a sort of refugium from an outside world they do not feel like fully belonging to. Proper “places of the mind”, compositions assume symbolic values ranging from art to literature, to esotericism, to politics, in a constant dialogue with memory.
If, on the one hand, the phenomenal datum peculiar to photography fades away, on the other hand a staging stands out where each subject interprets himself/herself in a web of possibilities: a multiple dialogue aimed at becoming, finally, incarnated as the prime portrait, proper director of the composition. Thus, the body of subjects is seen as a mere receptacle of a mosaic of personalities, pointing towards the essence of the portrayed person. Going beyond uniqueness, photography shows different times and points of action, crossing the boundaries of its own nature and thus creating a visual collection composed of many little stories of life.
