Agrigento
2020
Agrigento' is an ongoing body of works that I began researching and creating in 2020, during my first visit to the city, travelling along the south western Sicilian coast.
Since then, I’m regularly visiting the city, creating a body of works that could represent the unique feeling of living in a space where time feels like suspended, almost as if it was a non-place, an in-between space and at the same time trying to catch the rooted traditions, smells, shapes and more.
It has a very specific type of beauty, the beauty of something ancient, almost stuck in time and yet wonderful, that feeling of travelling back in time and walking around like you are a stranger in a different era. The beauty of decay, the beauty of a limbo, the beauty of going far away, in a space-time where it feels like the standard rules don't really apply.
