  • A stone statue.<br />
<br />
The protagonist of this work it is, at the same time, the main absent: the man.<br />
The man in his social and communal dimension.<br />
The contexts designed and arranged to encourage communication, play, participation, respect, sharing, skills development, become no  - places unable to perform their function. <br />
The silent nature appears the only creature really and irreducibly faithful to the vocation involved in its essence.<br />
Their state of neglect, decay times, recalls the waiver insane man / citizen called, by its nature, to express themselves and build.<br />
The only faces represented are those mediated by the eye of the artist: a film, a stone statue .. as if to say that the true humanity still exists only in the eyes of those who seek beauty.

  • Roman Emperor Trajan in Italica, near Santiponce, Seville province, Andalusia region, Spain . The WAY OF SAINT JAMES or CAMINO DE SANTIAGO following the Silver Way, between Seville and Astorga, SPAIN. Tradition says that the body and head of St. James, after his execution circa. 44 AD, was taken by boat from Jerusalem to Santiago de Compostela. The Cathedral built to keep the remains has long been regarded as important as Rome and Jerusalem in terms of Christian religious significance, a site worthy to be a pilgrimage destination for over a thousand years. In addition to people undertaking a religious pilgrimage, there are many travellers and hikers who nowadays walk the route for non-religious reasons: travel, sport, or simply the challenge of weeks of walking in a foreign land. In Spain there are many different paths to reach Santiago. The three main ones are the French, the Silver and the Coastal or Northern Way. The pilgrimage was named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1993. When there is a Holy Compostellan Year (whenever July 25 falls on a Sunday; the next will be 2010) the Galician government's Xacobeo tourism campaign is unleashed once more. Last Compostellan year was 2004 and the number of pilgrims increased to almost 200.000 people.

  • A boy build a "wagon" that will carry the statue of the Virgin Mary.In Ponticelli, the eastern outskirts of Naples, for 250 years, the 5th of August is celebrated the Mother of God with the title of “Our Lady of the Snows.”<br />
The statue of the patron is hoisted on top of the “Wagon”, the heavy machinery of the party of about 17 meters, carried by hand from less than a hundred men, along the streets of the neighborhood.<br />
The Virgin is enthroned above.<br />
In Via San Rocco the people, without effort, tap the wagon from the balconies, covering it sometimes with confetti.<br />
In Naples, in the places where degradation of culture and traditions are still popular, people condense in the briefest of moments, cyclical, of the party, its history daily, made of sweat, hopes, disappointments, fatigue, illness. The party therefore assumes a character of inevitability for its ability to signify all the painful complexity of life.

  • The statue of D. José I, the king that reconstructed Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. From Praça do Comércio he stays facing the river Tejo (Tagus), , where once the portuguese left to India.This photograph is part of a body of work about Lisbon, feelings, affections and loneliness. Is about a city depressed by the crisis, but even so, tolerant and cosmopolitan. This part of Lisbon,with his deep character, where local people meets foreigners and alternative ways of life mixes with shamefaced poverty, is sublime by its peculiar light.
