Labyrinth is a very personal project I developed in 2009. I wanted it to represent the human mind in form of place where to get lost, or found for that matters.
Through this project I tried to explore the principles of the reality by transcending its limits of space and time. It questions what is real and what is just trapped in the tight maze of our thoughts, just like Nikki Grace or the tormented writer of room 237.
Labyrinth was printed on matt paper 30''X40'' and exhibited in June 2009 at the T1 Gallery of the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, London, and in September of the same year at the Palazzo del Casinò in Venice, during the 66th International Exhibition of Cinematographic Art.

Apart from the clear reference to Stanley Kubrick's Shining, another great icon in filmography inspired me to the realization of this work: Inland Empire, by David Lynch. The two movies interpret the meaning of craziness by giving it a dimensional space, and a visual representation.
Movies and photography have always gone very close together, if only for technical reasons. Here, maybe, for conceptual ones too.
" Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life” - Giorgio de Chirico
