“Xtreme Sightings” is a photography series depicting the visual hyper stimulation of contemporary urban living and the recent alteration of its human interactions.

Photographs succeed each other as an hyperkinetic ballad, going from hallucinative architectural views where the observer is invited to question its own visual perception of reality to intimate close-ups of the population depicting behaviours that have come to an extreme extent since 2020.

An ever-intensified mutation of basic human interactions through digitalization and social networks, contactless dating and payments, an overload of logos and advertising imagery in the public space, a growing cleavage between western and eastern cultures, over-protective gear against viruses, as well as an enhanced feeling of individualization within globalization.

Associating hypnotic large scale views with zoomed-in figurative portraits highlighting a reshaped normalcy is purposedly intended to transcend the viewer’s primary interpretation of images, questioning both its own perceptual apparatus and its emotional perspective on the subject of the photographs.

Today, we are at a crossroads where urban life and human interactions have drastically changed over a very short period of time. Photographs, that equivocate between alienation and intimacy, aim at playfully investigating these changes and subsequent extreme sightings.
