The theme for the new issue was Dance and I flew to South Africa (Pantsula) and Paris (Kuduro) to shoot two documentaries and videos.

The first one is about a group of Pantsula dancers from Orange farm South and the other about a one legged Kuduro Dancer originally from Angola but now living it up in Paris.

Lave by Canedicoda Photographs

I decided to put up all the images from the Canedicoda shoot. I thought they looked better in Black and White. 

Below is what I wrote on the exhibition blog spot last week : 

'Recently I finished a collaborative project for Canedicoda, a hand screen printing specialist I met in Treviso. I collaborated with local friend and photographer Silvia Boschiero (Treviso) who introduced me to Gio from Canedicoda.

We did the shoot and video in the mystical mountain locations close to Vittorio Venetto where Gio from Canedicoda lives.

The project is meant to give a visual representation of a personal emotional response to his creations and the place that he creates them in. When I first met Gio inside his enoviroment, it was  quiet and meditational. I wanted to portray this to the viewer.' 

The Project was a collaboration between Silvia Bosciero and myself.

Canedicoda Milano.

Recently I finished a collaborative project for Canedicoda, a hand screen printing specialist I met in Treviso. I collaborated with local friend and photographer Silvia Boschiero (Treviso) who introduced me to Gio from Canedicoda.

Three of the images which will be printed on large postcards are with this post below. There will also be a large scale print element to the installation in Black and White.

A 3min long video will be projected onto the fabric from this range.

The Circus is in town.

Cycling to Fabrica this morning I noticed that the circus was setting up in town. This little caravan was parked next to it.

Symmetry on the way to Fabrica

I have been trying to document my life here in Italy more. This is a house that I cycle past everyday on the way to Fabrica. Everything here is so symmetrical, I love it.

Freaks

I was going through my images from the past couple of months of traveling and came accross two that fitted perfectly together. One was shot in Coney Island, New York City where I went when I got stuck after the Benetton Campaign (Stuck because of the Volcano). I was walking past one of the most famous spots on the promenade when I came accross this group of photographers (rather large fellows too) shooting a girl in front of the shoot the freak sign. I don't know if I was shooting the freaks or if they where shooting the freak but regardless we where all shooting.

The second image was taken on a trip to Paris a couple of months after New York to visit a friend I had met on the Benetton Campaign and one of the winners of the Its My Time competition, Magali Berthon. Its strange because she was with me in Coney Island when I shot the other and I regard her as a muse, how else can I explain the shots. This situation was on a bridge a sweltering day (if I could remember the name of the bridge I would use it), close to the main public library. I thought the two shots worked together because in the next one she was shooting a freak and it needed no signage.
