The piece Perspectives is a 10ft by 46 inches poster on migrant routes. Immigration from North Africa is constantly continuing to Europe, while the professionals young Europeans are flying somewhere else. The same phenomenon, emigration from one’s Country, affects two completely different Worlds that, even when they touch each other, don’t connect. We are accustomed to see a three dimensional world on a two dimensional map using the Mercator projection: in Perspectives I used the Peters projection, where areas are shown in correct proportion at the expense of distorted shape. I reflected the poster left to right, to show the subjectivity of the point of view and how a new perspective can make us see things in a different way.

After the horrible migration tragedy happened on October 3, 2013, close to the coasts of the little Italian island of Lampedusa, I wanted to dedicate a piece to that strong bulwark of peace that is Lampedusa. I overlapped 3 messages on my poster: the chronicle of the even happened on October 3rd, the names of the survived migrants (only 155 over 518) and the recents statistics about the numbers of migrants arrived to Lampedusa in the last year. Each message is on a separate layer, one layer is yellow, one is magenta, one is red. Hidden is my personal take, you need a red lens to reveal it and be able to read it.
