It began as a desperate search for light during winter. In the canyons of the Bolognina where I was shooting, surreal distortions of light would appear in the windshields and hoods of cars. I began zooming in closer and closer, finding details that made me want to scream "don't you see it?!!" to passers-by. The work took off when I began to walk 12 kilometers a day through the streets of Bologna as a way of dragging myself out of the depression of the Covid lockdown and now, more recently, cancer.
I began to add the water myself, experimenting with surface tension, convex and concave reflections, magnification, and colors. Most of what is reflected are the buildings of my Saragozza neighborhood, but shop windows, flowers, and even bizarre objects like shopping bags are fair game.
What surprises me constantly is how the physics of light can reveal hidden secrets or suggest other possibilities to our banal reality. There is a theory that space-time our universe is a hologram. If so, I like the think that the real world might look like these distortions of what we see as reality. Certainly, the idea of seeing our world in a funhouse mirror, a cartoon alternative to our daily travails, pleases my sense of irony.
Or maybe I just took too many drugs when I was younger.
