I've never had any space at home. I was forced to share my living space with my twin brother. We slept together in the living room on the sofa bed. A personal intimacy has always been a rarity. I was born in 1991 in the northern suburbs of Milan. I need to go far from home far from the people I know. Far from the brake noise of the bus which stops under my place. I care a lot about my dad. I really do. I like to travel with no dates of return already set. I'm attracted by other human beings. As a kid I stole a wheel of a roller-skate from a shop, only one, I just loved that one. Once at home I felt so guilty that I never stole again. I didn't even have the roller-skate. My mother left away home with another man when I was 10. I grew up without her. I like to find the perfect pages of books. I have a great relationship with loneliness. I grew up with my father and my brother. I used to enjoy removing the pickle from a cheeseburger. Now I don't like cheeseburgers anymore. I need to go far from the life I live. Taking photographs is an opportunity to live a life that was not supposed to be mine in places that were not supposed to be mine. I like it when at the supermarket the cashier ask me 95 cents for soy milk and I find the five spare cents in the bottom of the pocket.
