In transitum originally started as a video art commission, examining the evolution of mass movements in the ‘urbe’. The video addressed the crucial challenge that human mobility represents in the big city, with its exponential growth, disproportionate to the space.

After endless hours of recording, I started to feel interested not so much in the behavior of crowds, but rather the anonymous nature of the mass.One month later, I embarked in a parallel photographic project with a more voyeuristic approach. The mechanism of photography enables you to invert the process; instead of recording the continuous flow of people, the camera is able to freeze the action and therefore isolating the individual/individuals from the multitude.I was able to immortalise instants that otherwise would have fallen into oblivion, like the hundreds of faces that our brain automatically erases from our daily encounters.The unaware pedestrians are captured floating in a single moment in time; the individual’s anonymity is preserved under the communal identity of the crowd, even though we don’t recognise their faces, we can wonder about their identities.
