On September, after the earthquake in L'Aquila and Haiti, I left for Afghanistan in order to start this photographic project. I went there two times and on May i left for Iraq. A work – in – progress that wants to investigate the relationship between identity and crisis as an index of development. Test out, through the architecture re-construction and the landscape, the existence of a real difference between East and West, between globalization and fundamentalism, between democracy and forced security, urban empty and gated community: This project is a collection of empty, something unresolved, ironic and provocative. This project is about my personal vision of reality.
