  • One's Island, 2008—ongoing

    Photography series.

    “One's Island” is a photographic project with which I propose a dialectic between interiority and confrontation to the world. By use of a constellation of contemplative vignettes, the series maps the territory of a fictional island: the result is the representation of a ‘there’ that replaces the ‘here’, reflecting a state of being that goes hand in hand with a state of not belonging.

    Through a fragmentary visual writing, I use the island as a metaphorical space existing outside of all spaces: an archetypal landscape for the imagination to surge, a fragment of land to solitarily and secretly explore the inviolable space that exists inside our minds. Freed from a recognizable geography and blending spontaneous capturing with cinematic compositions, the images propose a bridge towards a secret, meditative and slowed-down universe.

    The photographic project was complimented in 2018 by my fiction film “Julian” (27'50''), investigating the same subject-matter.
