self portrait experience #1
My work comes from the curiosity to investigate the behavioral and psychological aspects of human life, which do not depend on the person’s own conscience, but are controlled by a powerful guiding inner voice: the unconscious. The self-portrait configures itself as the favored instrument of introspection and self-analysis, and at the same time it operates as a mediator between the world of art and that of the unconscious. It is the ideal way to look inside ourselves and realize who we really are, because it mirrors our soul. The photomontage process is probably the most suited to this kind of photography, but these were not subjected to a digital post-production; instead, I’ve shot films and used various techniques, from collage to photo assembling.
