It’s always nice when a new photo project finds me and not vice versa. It happens like magic, as if it were written in our destiny.
It all starts with some subtle signal, coincidences, radio interferences. At first I don’t even notice it, but then, slowly, the brain tunes to the right frequency and finally I realize. From that moment on, the conscious quest begins, a research that leads to a new discovery, to a new adventure.

Summer 2014
Summer 2014
Another summer is going to end. In the last period I switched almost completely to monochrome photography. Maybe I’m tired of the tawdry and distracting colors, or I’m just more prone to focus on the “form” rather than on the “substance”. I really don’t know the reason why, but it’s a fact that I started seeing things in black & white.

Most cities have an amazing amount of vacant, unused land in its downtown core. Over the past few years, radically changing economic, industrial and employment patterns have further exacerbated the problem of these lost spaces. This is especially true along highways, rail road lines and waterfronts, where major gaps disrupt the overall continuity of the city form. However, lost spaces, although underused and deteriorating, provide exceptional opportunities to reshape an urban center and counteracts and suburbanization and gentrification.

This project focuses on the concept of “vacancy” as an increasingly rare subject to find in our chaotic contemporary cities. Something that still has the power to make us feel uncomfortable, with the urge to fill it with things, colors and signs. Indeed our minds are no longer accustomed to the absence of messages.
