Underfoot: lost in his thoughts

" The suggestions of Kerouac's "On The Road" and the lighthearted emotional rigor of Bruno Munari, have been some of my initial references to bring to life these visual notations which I call Underfoot.The street as a place of true life, where culture, instincts, tastes, violence, poetry coagulate and reject each other without any solution of cultural continuity. On the street, on the ground I find the signs of these daily torments left behind by our civilisation and more often by our incivility. Anonymous signs, without paternity and yet extraordinarily beautiful. Capable of speaking unknown languages, almost symbols of a parallel life, a projection of other worlds we would desire. A spasmodic research of the beautiful in every sign left on the street, there where humility and humiliation find unconditional welcome." UNDERFOOT is a book of photographic images collected on city streets and digitally reworked. Many of these are structured like paintings with hand elaborations.
