This project was implemented in collaboration with the school of Italian language for immigrants run by Caritas Ambrosiana.
The immigrant is generally viewed with distrust, kept at a distance and normally avoided any kind of relationship. He is alien and indifferent, almost a ghost.The project in its staging aims to induce the visitor to a gesture, however small, of motion towards the person, of a minimal participation in his history, his desires, his affections, his being.
The exhibit is made up of two parts. The first one is like a catalog of small details (dress, jewelry,hair....) of the people portrayed. attached to their personal handwritten stories. This is the key to the search among a series of studio portraits, a way to give them a dignity even photographically, that is the second exhibit part.
