This ongoing series of photographs actually represent a combination of purposes for me – some intimate, some aesthetic, some intellectual. It’s a personal daily diary of my relationship with my environment, reflecting my penchant for observation, quietness and composure, and my personal affection to it which dates back to my childhood; it’s a homage to the area I live in, which is a typical suburban province of Northern Italy, but hopefully decontextualized enough to be a homage for any archetypical suburb, which can be often more surprising, quirky, elegant or just beautiful than one may think; and more generally it’s a reflection on the importance of exercising one’s eye, curiosity and sensitivity in any environment, even the most apparently trivial, banal or muted one.
