A journey through Italy and its sizeable as well as symbolic elderly population. I sometimes look at them as capsules eroded by time and submerged by the speed with which everything is changing. When I began the project in 2019, I could have never imagined the significance the elderly the population would have had a year later, in 2020 among the coronavirus outbreak, and that without I had unknowingly approached a highly sensitive issue in contemporary Italian society, something much bigger than myself. As time passed, I gradually developed the desire to include some of the great living artists of my grandparents' generation. I wanted to immortalise those who contributed to the creative richness of the second half of the 20th century and influenced the contemporary scene. The words that accompany each image are taken from William Shakespeare's King Lear, which contains a profound reflection on old age, the generational conflict and the end of man's power over himself and the world.
