Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

This project represents my willingness to create a visual complexity around these topics so relevant in the contemporary European scenario but as well to think about the role of photographers, which are powerful producers of meanings, ideas and opinions.

 

Fata Morgana includes portraits of foreign people who live and work in my region, descriptive and evocative pictures of some elements of the landscape, still life of symbol of the exploitation of seasonal workers and some metaphoric component as the mirage of Albanian Mountains.

 

This project is a storytelling in between reality and fiction in which the spectator is invited to recreate his own story, fill up the gaps and give the characters of the book the possibility to double themself and transform in someone else. The possibility of dreaming, which is a fundamental aspect of the existence of all human beings.
