Misamore

DIAFRAMMAZERO is a collection of works born from the obsessive research of wanting to get to the purest essence of Herself, of the others, who gave birth to these shots. I like going into the most intimate moments of people life (those who are usually relegated to their own private), and tell the feelings with which the person lives in that precise moment of his life: loneliness, despair, sadness, melancholy. Everything was born in a period when I felt that I was losing connection with the rest of the world and I was hooking myself in the wrong way, a way that was not my own, but one that I had learned to be, to use to mold myself to what I lived around. The work is based on the sensations that I try to find in humans. There is nothing built in the shots that I seek; the person, I, in front, in front of the camera: we are absolutely free to do what we feel, to move freely. The only thing I do at that moment is to imagine what it can and how it can be a certain movement of the body of the hands, face, hair of the person I face and I stand there in front of making it all mine. Everything is enclosed in those few seconds that turn into the purest and most free body language, and finally finally fixed and lasting. The human body encloses the answers to everything we are looking for, everything is within it, it is a transmitter of sensations that transcends into the underlying energy: sensations, words and gestures, this is our way of being ourselves. Every movement, every gesture, is unique because everyone has his own way of doing it: his own way of moving his hand between his hair, sitting down, crossing his legs, biting his lips .. diaframmazero​ is the moment in which everything finally stops and stays there, in one shot, with long exposure I thus have the opportunity to recreate that thought that our brain sometimes brings us to mind when we think of someone. Photography is a mechanism to process the memories that lie in my head and keep them forever. The work is based on ​memory​: for me it is vitally important to have a memory of people; with this technique (that of the long exposure) I try to summon what memory can not keep, or rather it succeeds but it remains only the feeling of the exact moment I gain of a person, hence the expression before making a certain movement, and even more the feeling of the flesh that is purely personal because each of us sees things in their own way. It is from the fascination to the human being that these shots emerge. To get to the essence of people, because that's what I want, and that looking at my photos recognize themselves, and they say, "This is me and I feel a deep attraction, not just at the physical but empathic level. People who are portrayed are almost never in exterior environments and often blend with the background, almost as a portrait. I do not feel like a photographer when I'm in front on the camera, in fact I'm part of what I'm doing, because this is the story I'm building, a story of memories, sensations and emotions. It's a systematic job, I've chosen a theme, or rather it's the theme that has chosen me, and I've been working for about two years, that's my way of remembering why we live in a time when there's a big absentee. We are in years full of informations to have an absence of information. We are in years full of images to have an absence of imagination. We are in years full of ways to save our memories by having an absence of feelings they give us every day.
