Présentation
This series stands at the meeting point of the photographer's two intimate cultures: that of his adopted country, Belgium, and that of his family of Italian origin. Close-up shots of an unadorned daily life, photographed crudely with a flash and focusing on everything that doesn't require attention: the immutability of days, its chaotic aesthetics and its discreet poetry.
