all the polaroid pictures on this site are shot using SLR680, SX-70, 340 land and 600 SE polaroid cameras.
modified polaroids are worked on the inner side, using fibre pens, acryl colors, letraset types,
tape and images/words from magazines. a personal technique called COLORAMA.

_{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------}

my COLORAMA polaroids set the point where photography meets collage and - sometimes - painting,
mostly playing around two main themes: sex & religion.
color explosions, monstrosity of figures, unreal and disturbing settings - or their total absence -, short
and funny or decontextualized sentences/words are pop-astonishing media to catch the observers' attention.
furtermore, despite their funny aspect, they bring to a deeper, polemic and queer-oriented reflection about
the role of catholic church, its hierarchy and sex.
all these topics merge into a playful or painful game to freely express the identity of the self, against
the fake idea of goodness and pureness spread by a church imposing nonsense-bordering lifestyles as absolute truths.
porn, uncomfortable feelings and irony are in my polaroids the way to escape from constrictions and bigotry.
because - sometimes - self-freedom is just a squirt of sperm away.
