Landau report part two: the attempts to deliver the Nutcrackers
“Make sure you take everything with you! Don’t leave anything behind!”. The lady who shouted this was probably something like the thirteenth attempt on our part to gift random strangers in Landau with a Nutcracker.…

Find the same – beauty ideals and flawlessness on the streets of Berlin
Killing Us Softly 4 Trailer from Media Education Foundation on Vimeo.
In her documentary, Killing Us Softly 4, Jean Kilbourne says, referring to the ideal of absolutely flawless beauty with which we are continually fed by ads:

People in museums
In the spirit of traditions I went to the 28th Long Night of Museums in Berlin…, which took place at the end of January.
I am fascinated by people in museums. It is this apparently banal activity of looking
Do you remember winter?
Today I noticed that daylight sticks around longer than before (finally!). Then I got some old films at the lab and I found these. That day I was traveling to Charlottenburg to run some errands there and the snow made…
A place of silence – from the archives
These photographs where shot in the park around the Memorial to Homosexuals persecuted under Nazism
The changing language of craft – Berlin
This article appeared on the Craft Guerrilla Zine, issue nr.8 (Winter Zine), which you can must buy here.
You can get it either as pdf or hard copy. It is a monthly issue which features articles, fantastic illustrations and …

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 figure out my next move.
I have
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 traveling one
“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 bookstore…
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.
As you
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 I…
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 what I…

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 of…
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 a…
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 is in

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.
