My artistic research wants to analyze issues of selfrepresentation, gender and narration and to let them dialogue in a dialectic way, trying, at the same time, to deconstruct the cultural sterotypes.

The performative self-shots I present, born out of long-studied mise-en-scènes, are personal inquiries into the relationship between gender and sexual nature; they are reflections on the androgynous, plural and fluid representation of identity, and also meditations on the bond between whoever stage the scene, the photographer, the place and the audience. I try to explore and overcome the limits between the differrent players of the elaboration and reception of the photographic shot, blurring at the same time the boundaries between subject and object, observer and actor thanks to the use of the self-shot, the performance and the inclusion of the spectator into the construction of the meaning of the photo.
