ilmotorediricerca, Italy: Aim and shoot – target on borderline”

Taking a picture presupposes the act of aiming and, then, shooting; it acts like having a gun in the hand. In the interior space of bunkers on the border, not seen from outside and protect from the concrete cage, I use the little hole of the windows just for looking for possible targets,. Outside, with my body on the borderline, the target of the camera can look at me, our eyes touch themselves and establish a contact: something different has happened, the glaze of the person in front of me put myself directly into the picture, if I shoot I do it at myself.
