Few words about the work

The work is the result of a process of playing and painting with light, taking the images with rudimentary cameras.
I worked with handmade pinhole cameras built out of boxes of matches.
The pinhole camera has the particularity that the lens objective of the camera has been replaced by a little hole.

The exhibition is presented as a graphic novel where each set of photographs is a chapter.
The pictures are the capture of fragments of a private mythology based on the intuitive relationship between the artist and the characters suggested by the woods of Hättorp in Sweden. I worked with the images as a freewheeling visual Haiku, a sort of visual poem, incorporating elements of myth and legend out of my imagination.
This is the result of an poetical experiment research and a praise in itself to the wonderful but ephemeral nature.
I pretended with not previous sketches or arranged ideas in advance to create illusions of volume and space where metaphors and meaning collide, to persuade the viewer to discover with aesthetic enjoyment the spirituality of the landscape.
