IMMIGRANTS

Not numbers, not a problem: faces. Portraits of immigrants in Italy.

Immigrants. The news turns them into numbers, a problem to be managed, a wave to be stopped. This series does the opposite: it stops, and looks at one person at a time. No staging, no pity. Faces met where life actually happens: markets, building sites, sidewalks, kitchens. Each portrait is an encounter, not a report. Shot in Rome. Photographs of people who are already here: already neighbours, already part of the city.
