Untitled

Existential loneliness, isolated countryside, and millennial culture: these are the keywords of my latest photography project. The series “Untitled_” focuses on life in Italian (ex) suburbs, reporting a motionless condition where reality hasn’t changed since two decades ago. The effects of geographic conditions on social realities are significant. Stagnation or progressiveness is largely conditioned by geographic surroundings which affect the psychological and psychic tendencies of a community. The state of isolation in these man-made situations brings people to experience social isolation, therefore, dragging them into so-called "emotional isolation", the unwillingness or inability to share feelings. Phenomena such as technological retardation and outdated trends define the Italian central countryside lifestyle where inhabitants are used to dealing with abandonment, mainly because feeling discarded from society. This series explores the existential and psychological condition of the Italian provincia in Central Italy - which means basically “suburbs and small towns outside of Rome”, analyzing the state of desolation as a result of people’s psychological characteristics due and within the places they live in.
