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 transcends the boundaries of geography and matter, inviting the audience to empathize with the emotional journey of finding a sense of belonging 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. It reconfigures itself as a dynamic experience, a shifting relationship between the 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 to both 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 boldly rejects the idea of home as a final destination, challenging the audience to reconsider their preconceived notions and embrace a more fluid and generative vision of home.
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 a powerful act of poetic disobedience against fixity, inspiring the audience to embrace transformation as the only proper form of permanence.
Through a photographic language that is dry, suspended, and deliberately devoid of any illustrative elements, the author aims to create an emotional atlas of the present. The images are not meant to depict specific places or landscapes, but rather to convey a sense of fragility and strength in those who can inhabit 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.
