Camera senza eco
A few years ago, I had an accident in the Wadi Rum desert that caused multiple vertebral fractures. As a result, I was forced to spend a lot of time layed in bed, putting aside the usual daily routine - a parenthesis from the ordinary and a new way of relating to the Other. Everything that was familiar had suddenly taken new enigmatic and unfamiliar shapes. Home, the nest-place, now appeared to me as a suffocating prison.
My work cross through this space-time suspension, filled with phobias, unattended expectations and alienation.
The title’s project, Camera senza eco, refers to the anechoic chamber, a completely soundproof room, with phono-absorbing surfaces, in which the absence of sounds from outside means that the only audible noises come from the inside, produced by body’s bones, fluids and flesh.
Similarly, the outside world, of which I no longer felt a part, was mute, while the body had begun to shout with the deafening voice of a noisy silence.
*The project was created while attending the IED Photography course.
