Picture of a Lie

If photography was born to document the reality, Picture of a Lie has the goal of documenting the false. The artist, after a non scientific psychoanalytic procedure, asked his model to remember, repeat and relive their worst lie as they were facing the person they told it to.

The goal is not to portray the person but the lie itself.

Birthday Suit

Street portraits made by a nude photographer. Birthday Suit is a photographic action project that explores the boundaries of social acting. People had been paid 1£ 13 (average UK daily income multiply by the time wasted and by the poverty coefficient of the artist) to be portrayed by the nude photographer that stood inside the shop window. The situational agreement is a dualism of power: the artist seduces the model engaging him in a voyeuristic situation where the spectator has a strong advantage: being dressed. On the other hand, the photographer has the power to determine the situation through the photographs. When the spectator is photographed, he is suddenly naked. (backstage)
