Venezia è Donna
Photo series/ Venice IT/ 2025
This photo-book offers a look into the lived reality of Venetian women and explores a side of the island, which under touristic attack remains largely invisible.
The project took inspiration from writer Costanza Jesurum, who explores the Venetian island as a symbolic space,
arguing that its singular elements offer fertile ground for collective projection. She describes Venezia as a place where dreams and fantasies are continually mirrored back to the observer, which turns the lagoon into a carrier of a much larger cultural subconscious.
Dinner Table Conversations
Photo series/ Como IT/ 2025
This series began during a time when the Pope’s death dominated Italian television. It was of no surprise then, that in the following weeks and months I witnessed my own relatives criticize the Pope’s liberal views on immigration and gay rights around the dinner table.
Photographing them whilst eating, became a way to observe how ideologies are metaphorically and literally consumed around the dinner table and how such discourse is woven into our everyday routines.
Hoarding Memories
This series was realized in 2022 near Lido Beach in Venice, Italy and tells the story of a generation of Venetians, that are still living of the riches of the so called 'italian golden age'.
But just like the city itself, beneath the affluence, we observe themes of solitude, a slow decline and a desperate attachment to the past. Surrounded by millions of tourists outside their homes, these elders now find themselves alone in houses that have become too large, a social circle which has become too small and burdened by a lifetime of memories.
Lo Stralisco
This commissioned work was created for the non-profit Theater-Therapy organization Meta-Arte, in Padova, Italy.
The name of the series, lo Starlisco, draws inspiration from the italian author Roberto Piumini.
In Piumini's fictional work a young prince, bound to his castle due to an illness, has never stepped foot out into the world. The king commissions an artist to paint the castle walls with the flora of the outside world, but soon the artist realizes that it is not only the prince who has a lot to learn.
Piumini's book highlights the curative aspects of creativity and of its ability to bring people together - a testament to how art practices are now more needed than ever.
Comedia Theater
This photo series was commissioned by the Comedia-Theater in Cologne. Like Meta-Arte, their focus is on theater-therapy and -pedagogy. My role was to document their annual Bohei-Festival.
In addition, I was assigned as the director's assistant, working closely with their theater production for several months.
