LA MALA FORTUNA

Empty spaces inhabited by silence, crepuscular lights at the death of day, nocturnal animals and others of which only the bones remain, ancient sculptures that cry out secrets, cemeteries full of life that contrast with dead cities, faceless bodies walking through a desolate, abandoned world. A deep vital anguish revealed through images where the poetic inevitably evokes mystery, nostalgia and melancholy. La Mala Fortuna is a photographic project about an internal search. As a result of an identity crisis that manifested itself through a strong anxiety, I began to ask myself questions about my place in the world and about the true nature of my sensibility. It was through my approach to photography that I managed to channel in a productive way the sensations that my state of permanent alertness made me suffer. Trying to investigate the reasons for my psychological state, I began to take pictures guided by a need to reveal myself to the world, in order to reveal myself.

A very instinctive process, not very rational, somewhat visceral. It is in melancholy, anguish, tedium, nostalgia (for the past and the future) and boredom where the photographs of this project are reflected. Each photograph functions as a microcosm that works both alone and as a whole. Sometimes thought (almost never), sometimes found (almost always), they inhabit a place between found reality and idealized reality, like visual poems where the meaning is never clear and a space is established for imagination and also for reflection. I keep asking myself unanswered questions about the world around me and my position in it and these images are what I get for an answer. La Mala Fortuna is the universe I have created in order to explain myself to the world.
