Play Off
Modern football's enters its roots into the Earth since 1863... from then on just a little has changed in the periphery. The lines, the border areas have never been important in the matches among friends. Even without a football goal, a noise was enough to excite us and crying out loud "Goal". Through the years, football has become something "serious", which can be frightening and often it becomes a reason to chronicle or a place of terror... "regardless of the color of earth." Play Off is the point of view from the penalty spot of opposite peripheries, cultures, religions but belonging to the same heart. Location: Marrakech (MA), Ouarzazate (MA), Brighton (UK), Shoreham (UK).
From Brighton with Love [postcards]
"From Brighton with Love" ... postcards of our society, it’s a light beam projected in Brighton & Hove during and after the construction of the 'British Air i360, a panoramic elevator cost 46 million pounds in a political context dominated by Brexit.
This series of still images freezes what forcefully changed the aspect of the city and deleted in a second some symbols of a urban landscape [i.e. Madeira Terrace] and the memories of the whole city. "From Brighton with Love" is a magnifying lens on the effects of consumerism which disrupts daily life, it conditions our lifestyle and fades values.
A di Underground
Walking by the streets of my city, the gaze is turned upward for a short time, it is not captured by the beauty of the theater or the white of the historic houses, for years it knows degradation. Step by step, the eyes stop repeatedly on what the light impress on the road: the shadows, the negative of souls. From the top I crush reality, through the "il mio filtro animico," in another dimension. Animate and inanimate make no difference, the city is alive, it changes shape and protagonists. The manhole does not hide but shows a level below, everything becomes "underground", there is no difference between the first floor of a house and the street drawn as a canvas by the light. In this "Divine Comedy" our shadows meet, become stories or remain alone ... as graffiti in the city !!!

[B.A.R]
BAR is the most POPular word in the world, a crossing point where different street cultures can meet, it comes from the term "barred". In the past some wooden planks were nailed on the doors of the shops where the word "barred” was drawn with lime.
The acronym B.A.R, [Berlin, Amsterdam, Rome] is a metropolitan trip with no barriers with the intent to paint something which remembers the etymology of the term.

MUSIC, ART & PLAGIARISM
Driven by desire to express myself through Pop Art in a fleeting, playful, sexy, young and popular way, I had fun contextualizing in this work one of the greatest album in music history “the Velvet Underground & Nico - Cover by Andy Warhol” (a great example of combination between art and music). By putting together two of my strongest passion, music and photography, I choose to choking the banana with the aim to getting a smile out of the public as a revolutionary act in a moment of crisis.
