Holes is a project I started in New York in 2012, during my period of study at the School of Visual Arts. In realizing it, I moved inside various hotels, mostly photographing rooms that had just been left by guests, or apartments in disuse, handled as places where people don’t stop for long but are occupied for a limited period of time.
Holes expresses a crystallized reality through sheets, faces and empty rooms. Figures absorbed in an impenetrable vacuum that is absence of time and temporariness and loneliness as a universal human condition. The beds are unmade and the sheets are open to narrate stories that talk about lost moments and instants gone by that recall the traits and the looks of my characters. Everything looks slow, static, as if it were an ethereal break between the great movement of before and after.
The room is handled as a place of interior life, where the characters in it express, with their looks, the direct connection they have with world: impassive and of resignation.
