Description 2

My photographic practice is mostly grounded in the experimental photography field, consisting of the manipulation of photographic supports combined with different materials.

My approach to image creation is very artisanal, it ranges from handmade tools such as pinhole cameras, combining objects for installation and photographic enlargers assembled with pizza's cardboard to the different practices for installations, coating objects with liquid emulsion, Cyanotype, Van Dyck, emulsion lift of polaroid, and experimental monotype prints. I am combining the light projection of analogic-digital negative to make photography and photograms unique pieces of art that are questioning the traditional contemplation of photography.

Focusing on the environmental and ecological issues, I decide to act consciously investigating and experimenting the alternative sustainable darkroom practices. Exploring the powerful properties of nature that are as always satisfying us, try to be self-preserving As nature is always powerful in preserving itself along the same line I aim to adopt a sustainable practice.
