Publishing Mutazioni, in 1994, I declared for the first time, both with images and with words, that my path was developed by estimates and that these require constant change.
The skin, of course, changed but not the look, with its roots, always strained in the search for that wind (Anemos) that animates everything. During the work on the hydroelectric power plants, in 1984, I was struck by the enormous hard-working machinery, and with them I went into immediate resonance.
They were vibrating and sensual bodies, with whom to exchange long intense and knowing looks filled with wonder, enchantment and gratitude.
Fifteen years later, in 1999, during my intense stay in the province of Shimane (Japan), I began a new path marked by the need to bring to life the images together with the concepts of entropy and participation, elements that are able to mitigate the hardships of the human condition and accommodate the flow of time.
No more an outside observer, but an infinitesimal part of the whole, witness of the changes, of themselves and the world, through the experience of places.
