About Frenetic City
To say life moves fast in a city is an understatement.
People go through life in an uncompromising, chaotic pace,
overcoming and absorbing anything in their path.
Time in the city seem to flow quicker, memories in the city
tend to fade away faster.
Nothing seems to stand still in a city.
I use photography as a way to explore, investigate and document the culture, society and people in the cities that I have lived in.
Using Hong Kong as a starting point, this project aims to be a documentation of our increasingly overpopulated world.
When I first landed, I was immediately confronted by a society that is in fierce competition for physical and mental space.
I decided to capture and re-create the tension and chaos that I experienced in photographic form, using multiple exposures on B&W negatives.
The creation of each photograph requires me to be fixed at a specific location from between 5 to 7 hours per session. Through the viewfinder of an old Hasselblad, I created each photograph by overlapping selected individuals or groups of people within the 6 x 6 frame.
The resulting photograph is not of a singular moment in time, but a multitude of moments in time captured in a single frame.

Italy (b. 1952)
I am a self-taught photographer from Milan, Italy, where I was born and lived for most of my life, working as a university lecturer until 2023. Photography became a true passion in 2007, when I began studying the work of the great masters who shaped my vision. Their influence taught me to see the expressive power of light, shadow, shape, color, and the often-overlooked details of everyday life.

United Kingdom (b. 1982)
Rory Lewis is a British portrait photographer whose work carries the language of the Old Masters into the present day. A historian before he was a photographer — he read Medieval History at King's College London — Lewis came to the camera through painting: Holbein's court portraits, Caravaggio's tenebrism, Rembrandt's candour. Twenty-three years on, that education still governs the work, which he describes simply as capturing history, one portrait at a time.
