Cultus Corporis I wanted a series without athletes or champions. A series far from performance or stopwatches. Quite simply a series of amateurs that I observe with curiosity.
About me say Walk. Circulate. Telling. Sounds, silences, memories. Living in the attic. And breathing in the mind. Softly treading the wind. Moving fragments. Stories. Me.

For me, an initiatory book. And not only to the mysteries of photography. Ettore Molinario When I read it for the first time, and I…
