Libido

“Today, for most people, sexual freedom is a convention, an obligation, a social duty, a social anxiety, an inescapable part of the consumer’s quality of life.” Pier Paolo Pasolini, Scritti Corsari, 1975

“Libido” is the result of a project which has been my main concern for the last two years. A total investigation which passes through photography and pushes beyond, into the mechanisms which bring some people to attend festivals dedicated to erotism.
“Libido” revolves around eros and “tells” the story in all its apparently superficial, dark and hidden expressions. To produce the book, I visited those place personally, to open my perspective on a secret reality, considered taboo by many people, the distorted and degraded expression of a natural impulse.
