In this series of photographs I portrayed myself, overlaying my own body to some places where I wish I could have stayed for a longer time. Those places I shot and that are now in the background are some of the environments I encountered during my trips through Italy, Spain, France and Greece, plus one which I photographed in a cruise ship. Postures are often clearly unnatural and express my unease in relating to the outside world, seized by a feeling of unsuitability. Chromatic harmony between me and the buildings represents my need of taking part of the world I am surrounded by, despite I can never really feel myself into the environment all around me.
