Those days, a photographic project by Federico Verzì

-
Giordana Bonanno

Federico is a young Sicilian photographer in constant research of something to tell. To take him on the streets is above all the desire to know new stories, moments, emotions and even a little bit himself. He studied at Harim, the Euro-Mediterranean academy, and learned the trade thanks to his teachers, which later became colleagues with whom he is working at the Enkant Imagery studio.

His imagery is simple and direct, harmonized by shadows and shades of colours that are always different and that live mostly in the street. In silent scenes or in the crowd, the protagonists of his photos seem to play a part that tell different acts of a perfect screenplay.

On March 30, a Monday that now seems like the other days of the week, I came across a photo of him in the home page of Instagram under which he writes:

“I’m staying home but I’ve decided to leave. I’m going to Rio de Janeiro, to Paris, I’m also going to Alaska if I feel like it. I decided to travel through Google Maps and to immortalize everything I like, everything that makes me laugh, everything that leaves room for my imagination. I want to be free to travel, to see, to discover even when I’m alone, locked in my room.”

Federico thus convinces us that there is actually a way out of the four walls, this moment just needs to be transformed into an opportunity to discover and know that everything is possible. We have to be surprised, to discover, as Federico does in the way closest to him, walking the streets of cities miles away with imagination and a free one-way ticket on google maps.

Below the shots of the city he already visited and go to his Ig account to find out what place will be the next.
