ROMA: CAMERA OBSCURA is a multi-year project about my home city, rome, using the oldest photographic device as a tool for understanding the present.

In a world saturated with images, on the brink of the definitive loss of the real reference associated with photographic language, where Artificial Intelligence is driving the creation of increasingly standardized images, my project is a tribute to the history of photography, reminding us of the importance of natural light and its revealing power.

On the rooftops of various historic buildings and churches in the center of Rome, I have successfully completed my installation, transforming the entire space into a camera obscura. Inside, light enters only through the pinhole and projects the outside world in reverse, in color and motion, onto photosensitive paper used to capture large-format photographs.
