Have you ever found yourself in a place or situation for the very first time and, against all odds and logic, felt a sense of familiarity? If you carefully observe your surroundings you’ll realize how details, and in particular the smallest and sometimes most discreet ones, link places to one another giving them the capacity to make you feel at home even when you’re far away...
Globetrotting Energy Capturer was initially dedicated to my passion for details. With time it transformed into a work of synergy; connecting my travels like puzzle pieces to create optical illusions.
This experience illustrates that details make not only uniqueness but also unity.
Vi è mai capitato di ritrovarvi in un luogo per la prima volta oppure in una situazione mai vissuta prima e sentire, contro ogni logica, un senso di familiarità?
Osservando attentamente vi renderete conto di quanto i dettagli, quelli minuscoli e quasi impercettibili, accomunano luoghi geograficamente diversissimi e vi faranno sentire a casa anche quando siete lontani...
Globetrotting Energy Capturer è un progetto iniziato grazie alla passione per i dettagli; pian piano si è trasformato in un lavoro di connessioni usando pezzi di viaggi per creare dei puzzle e trompe l'oeil.
Un esperimento che dimostra che i dettagli rendono l’unicità ma anche l’unità.

- COLOR CAPSULES / BOOKS -
Globetrotting Energy Capturer is a concept which I’ve been developing since 2016, working to create modular itineraries that connect places and situations from destinations around the world.
This collaboration with NUNA PAPER is a revisited version of my previous work evolving it from a modular book to a modular journal. We used this format to create capsules of unique journeys and energies.
Assembled and folded by hand, each book is presented as a sequence of 16 pages with
8 color photos printed on bright white paper with texts and captions on the back.
