Prima Che Scenda Il Buio, Per Non Dimenticare
The summer before university, I lost both my grandparents within two months of each other. Their passing left a deep absence, and photography became my way of making sense of what remains. Prima Che Scenda Il Buio, Per Non Dimenticare (Before Darkness Falls, Not to Forget) began by documenting the quiet decay of their house—its deterioration mirroring our emotional landscape. As the project evolved, I photographed my mum and aunts in the house, reanimating the space and shifting the work from absence to presence. Blending staged and documentary methods, and working with film, archives, and found objects, I explore grief, memory, and the intergenerational threads that bind us. The house, once full of life, now stands as a witness to loss—and to enduring love.
