Synopsis

Impermanence is a photo series taken in places that have been abandoned after the earthquake that hit the city of L’Aquila (Italy) in 2009.

The project aims to describe the human dimension through interconnected interior and exterior spaces.

What new significance will human identity assume after the locations in which humans live are destroyed? What happens if places made in the image and likeness of humanity lose their original meaning? Suppose inside spaces no longer possess the possibility of being represented by outside spaces—then what’s the result? Does identity devolve so as to become unintelligible, unusable, inexpressible?

Spaces decay, the sense of human presence and being decays—everything sounds like dialogue spoken in an new, unknown, and utterly foreign language.
