Lace in Blue

The project tells the soul of the Venetian island of Burano and my paternal origins. The houses become alive, come alive with bodies that for an instant cross their history, almost disappearing between the walls to witness the depopulation of the city, and at the same time highlighting their uniqueness and colorful beauty. Models are painted and photographed by me. This photo tells about the art of Burano lace, a very ancient tradition of the island. Both the inhabitants and this tradition are unfortunately disappearing and this photo wants to be a cry of alarm to stop this process and preserve the Italian culture in all its facets. I create photo, video and performance art since 2012 and I mention among my collective and personal exhibitions those at the VITRARIA Glass A + Museum in Venice, at the Casoria Contemporary Art Museum, at the MMKK Klagenfurt.
