In the era of pervasive communication and continuous, hyperactive interaction with our peers, a question arises more than ever: who really are the “others”?
“Hell is other people,” Sartre replied, according to whom the gaze of others objectifies us, fixes us, and crystallizes us into a representation. And how much can the outward image we present of ourselves at a given moment—our way of appearing, here and now—truly tell others about us?
What can photography, in this sense, reveal about the “others,” about their real identity, their most intimate lived experience? From this insurmountable dichotomy of inside and outside, subjectivity and objectivity, photographer Fabrizio Intonti creates portraits of perfect strangers—alone or in groups, near or far—as if in that moment it were possible to overcome the very limits of our gaze upon the other and to establish some form of connection.
Fabrizio Intonti is a fine art photographer who lives and works in Rome. For his projects, he has received several international awards (Prix de la Photographie de Paris, International Photo Awards).
