autocensura (e libertà)

self-censorship (and freedom) The hymn of the Self is the anthem of a hidden side. This is one of the principles fundamentals of archetypal psychology. This means that our essence and our character can never be seen and fully revealed. The work Autocensura starts right from the need to create a photographic image that takes into account the need to hide, to bring out the identity of the person in a real and not stereotyped way. The faces and bodies portrayed always carry a load of emotions, feelings and moods. However, these human components remain wrapped in a veil of mystery, the enigma can never be completely dissolved. Photography thus becomes an act of resistance, a resistance to banality, speed and bulimia of contemporary images that continually bombard our eyes through social networks. Self-censorship in this sense must not be thought as an imposition suffered by immortalized subjects, it is rather a free choice, a need for autonomy with respect to the homologation and visual standardization that is required of bodies, commodified and manipulated by capitalist discourse.
