NO PLACE (NESSUN LUOGO)
(2021-2023)
"No Place" is a photographic exploration that investigates the concept of home not as a physical location, but as a perceptual and emotional condition.
Through a series of images suspended between presence and absence, the author constructs an intimate narrative that goes beyond the boundaries of geography and matter, seeking to understand what it means to belong in an era of constant transformation.
The loss of the traditional "shape" of home-understood as a safe, defined, and recognizable space-becomes the starting point for a visual journey that moves through fluid territories, where light and silence take the place of the solid architectures of the past.
In this passage, home dissolves as a boundary and recomposes itself as a dynamic experience, as a shifting relationship between individual and space.
The photographs do not document specific places or depict recognizable landscapes: instead, they move along a subtle plane, where the sense of belonging is no longer anchored to a fixed point, but flows like water, disperses, and renews itself.
"No Place" thus stands in contrast both to Marc Augé’s anthropological notion of the non-place-anonymous spaces of transit and consumption-and to the romantic idea of nostalgia and loss.
Here, absence is not emptiness, but possibility: a space for construction, a new way of inhabiting the world without needing to define it.
The project rejects the idea of home as a final destination.
Instead, it offers a more unstable and generative vision: home as movement, as a temporary relationship, as an intuition.
In this sense, "No Place" presents itself as an act of poetic disobedience against fixity, choosing transformation as the only true form of permanence.
Through a photographic language that is dry, suspended, far from any illustrative temptation, the author builds an emotional atlas of the present: fragments, crossings, light traces that convey both the fragility and the strength of those who know how to inhabit even uncertainty.
In No Place, meaning does not lie in finding a place to stop, but in accepting that the real place exists only in the act of crossing it.
