LÌ, SULLA SOGLIA
This project was developed during an artist residency in the Boite Valley, as part of a program supported by the collaboration of Dolomiti Contemporanee.
The aim was to investigate the inhabited landscape, offering a representation of the valley not merely as a natural backdrop, but as a living place, crossed, inhabited and transformed over time by those who dwell within it.
At the heart of this research lies a series of photographs dedicated to the entrances and surroundings of homes scattered throughout the territory: doors, courtyards, windows, staircases, objects placed or left behind.
Every detail serves as a clue to human presence.
I captured each fragment with discretion, through a careful, almost archaeological gaze, in an attempt to narrate something about those who inhabit these places: habits, relationships, daily gestures, memories.
In this work, the faces of the inhabitants emerge through the traces they leave behind; the landscape thus becomes a silent witness, an archive of individual and collective histories.
The project forms a fragmentary atlas of relationships between people and place, an invitation to observe attentively, in order to perceive the deep and often invisible bond between spaces and those who inhabit them.
It is a way of affirming that even in the most remote mountain areas, far from urban centers, a concrete, authentic, and resilient life endures.
This is the testimony of a living valley, full of signs, stories, and identities, a place shaped by human presence, even where no one seems to be.
