Viewfinders

The project stems from extensive research into camera user manuals, in which images were found that improperly describe the use of the device. These images thus portray figures looking into the viewfinder, and in the wrong, alternative gesture of holding the camera upside down, they become finders of new views (viewfinders). Among its various reflections, the work suggests the necessity and beauty of seeking different and unusual points of view to look at reality, thanks also to the magical encounter with a camera and with photography, exactly as the artist himself did by recognizing and finding these portraits within a vast "archive" of images."
