Manifesto.
I can't tell anything but myself: I am human, lgbt+, feminist, bourgeois, born in a suburbs in the south of Italy.
Everything in life is political, mostly art. Before being a visual artist and a digital strategist, I am an activist.
Photography is the most political form of change. In a visual society to change the visive culture is revolutionary. Even a single image can contribute to that: the image is able to be read in just 2 sec from your mind. Think about it, it could bypass all your bias, all your prejudices. You saw it and your mind has recorded it. That's maybe why social network platform are banning images more than words: they are censoring female nipples, nudity, curvy bodies, self expression. They are trying to conformate the digital world to their stereotypes.
You can't choose to switch on/off button of you beliefs and in this time is even more necessary to do not.
