CINNAMON HEART

“Inside these rooms, they decided to bomb Belgrade. It was in 1999…” We’re used to have a partial point of view, as we’re used to consider events only in that particular moment and separated from whole … and it often doesn’t lead us to consider an event in the complexity of a total perspective. Photography allows me to fill in that gap, to discover new worlds, where it’s possible to change or even subvert the state of things; to get back to reality of a deeper order, but starting from the chaos and the darkness around it. Camera can reveal what is beyond the visible and I imagined these rooms as settings of a secret story, where the light from the external world shines upon the dark interiors … an unexpected lightness inside of an abandoned building can create a sense of estrangement, leaving room for different interpretations. “Cinnamon Heart” stages all the ambiguity of the world. It’s both the end and the beginning of a world, or of something. It's a dream (or a nightmare). It's all we do not want. It's anything else you want. It's this or that. It's everything and its opposite at the same time.
