2016 – ongoing

The project was developed in collaboration with Federico Aimar, a friend and fellow photographer, and is an ongoing research that investigates the relationship between natural space, waste, and visual communication. The work focuses exclusively on illegal dumping sites, documenting through photography natural environments — countryside, woods, peripheral green areas — that have been unlawfully transformed into places for waste disposal.

The images are the result of a process of observation and selection of these landscapes, where human intervention visibly alters the natural environment. The photographs are then printed as posters and installed in spaces usually reserved for commercial advertising.

The intervention deliberately adopts the language of advertising in order to overturn its function: it does not promote a product, but exposes a reality that is often ignored or removed. The project operates as a form of anti-advertising, bringing uncomfortable images into public space and confronting viewers with a shared civic responsibility.

Conceived as a direct and accessible action, the project replaces commercial communication with content of public interest. It is an open, evolving work that continues to develop through new images, new locations, and new installations, with the aim of transforming the city into a space for reflection and awareness.
