Dust

Dust presents a series of photographs taken in Albania. Initially driven by an interest for a country geographically very close to my birthplace but culturally and historically very different, I explored for years the outskirts of Albanian towns, discovering places recalling Italian post war imagery. Playing both with reminiscences of Italian Neorealism and with a certain photographic tradition, these photographs try to present to the viewer a lyrical gaze on people and their environment, suggesting a connection between Albanian urban landscape fragility and precariousness of human existence.
