NEIGE DE BENEDETTI: 2015

#TuttoSuMiaMadre (All About My Mother) was a three days photographic project and installation I did in collaboration with Corriere Della Sera and La27esimaOra.
It was shot at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan during Il Tempo delle Donne.
Everyone could attend, the only request was to bring an object tied to the relationship with the person's mother.
I shot hundreds of photographs and I am thankful to anyone who came and shared something so intimate with me.
These photographs are not my favourites, I think I have some better shots, but this is my family, and family is not always very aesthetic, so I still thought they are the ones I wanted to share with you.
