Urban Faces and Fragments

Faces and fragments of urban territories have been drawn from their context and associated in the form of a diptych. Since the original ties between people and their enviroment are broken, the observer is invited to imagine new urban scenes and stories based on his imagination and on the new ties and assonances offered by the photographer. The purpose of this work is to emphasize how photography can comfortably live in the realm that lies between the external objective reality and an internal "reality", which is our personal interpretation of the real world. With the act of erasing the original identity of people in their context, the strong alienation invites the observer to enter this realm pushing him to experience its boundaries. As a consequence, far from being a simple spectator the observer once again plays an active and essential part of the whole photographic process.
