I have always been intrigued by how architecture and the environment surrounding us influences our mood, lifestyle and daily routine. Very close to the neighbourhood where i grew up in Genoa (Italy) was a set of enormous brutalist blocks used for social housing that was known as one of the most dangerous parts of the city. I therefore always associated this architecture with dodgy and un-hospitable places. For one week i set out to explore one of the biggest brutalist neigbourhoods in europe, Novi Zagreb (New Zagreb), to investigate how this very same kind of environment influenced and made me feel. It is'nt therefore a social investigation but a personal trip with the purpose of getting rid and better understand my preconceptions and my perception of a very similar space in a completely different kind of environment. This is just a small selection of a series that I intend to further develop with more travels to Zagreb and other cities.

"It is like any other snow, but from a different window, and there lies the singular charm of it." - Sylvia Plath The first time it snowed in London since I moved to this city becomes an excuse to investigate a little deeper my new home.

How do you reconcile the past and its signs with the fastest approaching future human beings have ever faced? There isn’t a right answer to this question, but we can find examples and inspirations all over the world, and one of these is indeed in the London Bridge area.? A series of diptychs that both show the past and the future of this area and tell the story of how the new is not just taking the place of the old, but it’s fulfilling the promises and the expectations that the history of this area of London has always created.

Clubs are places where all the rules can be forgotten and a temporary and only apparent chaotic subversion of all the normal social rules can take place. But stereotypes and "routines" can still be found in this microcosm. In this series of images I'm looking for the thin line between true transgression and the "stereotype of fun".
