My work investigates how a location is transformed by the presence, or
absence, of the human figure.
Its goal is to identify that decisive moment when a familiar place -
for an instant - becomes a metaphysical stage, across which life "struts and frets his hour". Opposite what happens in
cinematic fiction, this transformation creates theater from reality.
BIO
I was born in Italy, and have been
in the US since 1996.
To a certain extent, I think that both these worlds are in me.
I got my first camera - a Polaroid - when I was five.
That was a long time ago, but I have been shooting ever since.
My vision is influenced by many,
including Gabriele Basilico, Andre Kertesz, Giorgio De Chirico, Giorgio
Morandi, Michelangelo Antonioni, Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Edward Hopper.
I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I live a secret life as
a bean-counter in a major corporation.
