‘'Notes from the Edge'’ is a photographic exploration of the incredible times we are living. Times when the old world seems to have ended, but the new world doesn't seem to be here yet. Times of transition, turmoil, unknown. Times of excitement and terror, forward leaps and violent recoils. This strong tide - which seems very difficult to control and also even to understand - involves human lives at multiple levels, from macro to micro: history, economy, climate, inner feelings, human connections . 'Notes from the Edge' tries to catch a glimpse of it in as many different levels and situations as possible. The constant element is a feeling that human lives have been put to the edges of what we were used to by fierce and momentous developments. The other constant is the moving, omnipresent, existential effort of humans at these edges - be them migrants, priests, soldiers, children... - to find a meaning to their lives.
‘’Notes from the Edge’’ is an open end project. Its oldest picture was shot in 2008, its most recent one in November 2025. It is obtained through lateral vision. As life keeps taking me around and inside different fragments of life on this planet – sometimes as a father swimming with his 11-years old son, other times as a veteran news cameraman sent on assignment, sometimes as a Sicilian exile trying to make contact again with the land where I was born and which I left as a boy, as I live, in short – I keep shooting on the side. And I was surprised to find out that the most significant moments, the essence of things I have found more often on the side of where my focus was. Or behind. Or above. The substance was most often not in what I was looking at. It was always somewhere around the edges.
