About the Project

Lazio Electrocardiogramma: a collection of brief portraits of the city of Rome where I lived for almost two years. They include: thousands of birds circling Stazione Termini, the city of Eur, gladiator training school, and a conversation at the UN. Rome is not on a grid, it periodically rains sand from the Sahara, and most of all it is not what I imagined it to be. The words "Lazio Electrocardiogramma" are spray painted on a wall near the Tiber. To me they suggest both a pulse and a heartattack -- like Rome itself.
