get out of my way, or i'm gonna shove!

i need a good title for this work

yep, still the same. i have just finished the rough editing...

still on the same project.

working on this...

i don't know the name of this new project, yet. anyway it concerns the relationship between things and memories, all linked to the geography of home and the actual things themselves. this is a little part of it, come out of a pleasant  rendezvous with nuvola.

new updates on progetto QD

a new session of photographs from around italy is now available on progetto QD. 

guardare | maddalena: postcard

join the programme!

new italian internet law...

this is definitely off topic, compared to my previous posts. anyway this is a blog and likewise other blogs it might be affected by the insane internet law which has just passed by the italian parliement. this decree not only is medieval, but also violates the basic human rights - amongs them the freedom of speech - and is just a cover up for typically italian dirt. please find what boing boing says about.

progetto QD updates!

please, find progetto QD's new photos! my updates from genova are here, but have a look to the other cities and cool photographers. personally i really enjoyed this one, by alessandro sambini: this looks like leland palmer from twin peaks!

guardare | maddalena, an educational programme.

i am pleased to announce the call for artists for the educational programme guardare | maddalena. nuove topografie ad 'altra' fedeltà. the programme is open to ten young photographers (18-29) and aspires to form them through collective lectures and workshops and the development of individual projects on the genoese hisorical neighborhood maddalena. I am in charge to curate this, together with giacomo bagni and other cool professionals around italy. the programme is funded by comune di genova and organized by cultural association disorderdrama.

for more information please check http://guardaremaddalena.tumblr.com or download the full call for artist.
