Screamers
Like other European countries, Italy finds itself confronted by an identity crisis, says photographer Stefano De Luigi. The welfare state, political institutions and industry are being faced with radical restructuring – a consequence of the economic crisis that has brought several countries to the edge of the precipice. Particularly for the Italian middle class, this restructuring is anything but painless. They see the prosperity that they were able to build in the 1990s slowly slipping away again. With Screamers De Luigi documents the protests in favour of a system that guaranteed more citizens stability and prosperity than ever before.

BLANCO
What does the gaze of a blind person look like? Can the blind show joy, happiness, disappoint, pain, suffering, pity, regret, with the only use of their eyes? The absence of sight can mean also the absence of complicity behind the camera's lens? We always use the term blind to characterize a person, such as blond, fat, poor, rich.
And maybe, in some way, it is the truth. It doesn't matter if it happens in Africa, Asia, or the old Europe. The fact is, they cannot see the light, the colors, the daily scenes,
how awful or gorgeous they can be. The blind are a contrast. It is easier to ignore them, their handicap is hidden, but they do have it. It's not necessary to turn the face to something or someone else, they won't see it.
They seem 'normal', but they're not. They have their own world, the same and another than ours, made of different feelings, different images, different colors. And darkness.
