Time for a change
After ruling out London as a potential dream place to live (though it’s still a great source for interesting shots), I am happily home, soon looking for a new apartment and trying to…
Looping – On absence
It is not possible to show absence of men. The act of taking a photograph is a human action, and that who gazes at the photograph is destined to think of a man or a woman, if not because of…
Photos from somewhere else – Napoli
Home, Berlin, dealing with the necessary steps that will allow me to have, albeit only temporarily, the false impression of financial security.
The photos from Geneva are still in their undeveloped film form and the films are still in my…
The ceiling – photos from Naples
The exhibition, as you know, is currently in Naples and the great thing about this is the way in which the space has been organized. “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable” is a special exhibition in that it is a…
“Structurally recyclable, basically disposable” in Naples – some feedback
It’s been a long and full week here in Italy. I am currently writing from a beautiful library downtown Turin to give you some updates on the exhibition that is to see in Naples until the 31st in the…
Work in progress
First and foremost, this Friday is the opening in Hamburg of the exhibition “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable”.
Besides the exhibition, I am trying to channel my energy a bit (in a non-new-age sense). I have had many new ideas…
And it’s spring again
So apparently it’s spring and Berlin is slowly (slowly) coming to life. Soon you will have the usual newspaper articles about people massively going to the parks, the bike business reaching its seasonal peaks, and some brave people attempting the…
freedomallowed is now open – You can now buy my prints on Etsy!
In between exhibitions (you’ll know more about the next exhibition very soon!), I am very glad to announce that I have just opened freedomallowed, my own shop on Etsy, where you can go and buy my prints.

The December 12 “candle” demonstration in Berlin for the Copenhagen summit
On the 12th of December I went to a demonstration, a candle light demonstration in a cold pre-Christmas Berlin, held in front of the Brandenburg Gate and organised by the group TCKTCK.
The aim was, of course, to tell…
An off-topic Geneva series
It’s been a crazy week. Preparing for an exhibition is never easy and preparing for it and at the same time managing its “marketing” aspects (flyers, posters and what not) is incredibly stressful. I am saying nothing new here…
November, november
November in Berlin.
This has been a month of reading, patient silence and not so patient attempt to get ahead of my desire to “know things”.
I have put my Holga to work and focused my attention on…

Barthes on captions: “By means of an often subtle dispatching, it remote-cotrols him towards a meaning chosen in advance” Roland Barthes, cited in “Photography Theory”, ed. James Elkins.
Best before news – Il giornalino precario
Sometimes in life you run into, or stumble upon, or simply get in contact with people in similar difficult situations, that is, precarious work situations, who also have a sense of humor.
A few weeks ago, one such kind…
Very few colors – Vienna
I (we) spent the last weekend in Vienna, walking around, visiting exhibitions and eating out.
The (never-ending) train trip was worth it indeed. This, and other observations, should you be both Italian speaking and interested, were the subject of…
Busy, rainy
It has been a very busy couple of weeks.
Among the interesting things that have happened.
I was interviewed by journalist Marco Patruno, author of the blog Generazione P. Here you can go and read the interview, which…
Pictures of a day – 26th July 2009
We went out for a very late breakfast at a very cute café in our neighbourhood.
Everything is freshly home made, the cakes and the coffee are delicious. A nice refreshing moment.
Pictures of a day – 25th July 2009
It’s nice to walk around on a sunny day and the city offers many inspiring views. Mostly small neglected things.
Picture of a day – 20th July 2009
I am waiting for the instant paper to come in
“In all in all, photography allows us to show all that words would take an entire day to explain”
A small experiment on space appropriation
When I first moved to Berlin, I spent the initial couple of days trying to appropriate the space in the appartment. I didn’t feel exactly “at home”.
I tried feeling better by taking pictures in different rooms of the appartment…
On, pause, off
Today I stop to think and realize how photography is the only way I can really interact with the world.
I can only talk through the way I perceive others. I can’t quite do it in any other way.…
Tango nights portfolio added
One of the most beautiful times in Geneva was the spring. The city parks are colorful and the season of festivals and cultural events is just starting.
The Garden Party is one of them, followed then by “la Fête…
