Started in 2007, the series Il mondo che non vedo (The world I do not see) is an ongoing project that focuses on aesthetics and mysterious beauty of abandoned locations, still having a soul, a meaning as vectors of layering sensations and images that make them live, independently to our memory and our experience, creating a strange atmosphere of expectation, bordering the surreal. The aim I set myself was not to expose their dereliction, but rather to render the grandeur and magnificence of these spaces, which are now forgotten and on the path to extinction, and thus seem to belong to a parallel world. The photographs were taken all across the world: in the USA, Belgium, Germany, UK, Italy and Eastern Europe. Yet, they do not constitute a kind of map of neglect: for what matters is not so much the when and where, as the loss of the coordinates of these places that border on the surreal, altering the perception and sense of time, which seems to have frozen.
