The 16 shots they talk about “identities in motion”as underlined by the author herself, who decided to intervene in each photograph in an analog way through the inclusion of pictorial and textual elements.
A non-random choice, that of Alessia Rollo, an artist with many international exhibitions to her credit, who chose to transcend the static nature of photography to join the sign and the signified. A decision that matured by listening to the stories and testimonies of the people they met, able to clearly state their experiences and at a pictorial level: to give space to voices, in the experiences, in the words spoken. To make participation in the narrative completely inclusive.
