THE PROJECT

Civilization is a long-term photographic project exploring how historically rooted cultural forms persist and evolve within contemporary societies shaped by continuous transformation.

The project focuses on communities where ways of life, social structures, and cultural practices are shaped by deep historical continuities while adapting to changing political, economic, and territorial contexts.

Rather than presenting tradition and modernity as opposing forces, Civilization observes how they coexist, interact, and continuously reshape one another.

Developed through sustained fieldwork and repeated presence, the project approaches photography as a form of observation focused on human relationships, gestures, and environments as they unfold over time.

The work is guided by three recurring photographic perspectives:

Gaze explores human presence and the relationship between individuals, identity, and the act of being observed.

Continuum examines how cultural practices, gestures, and social forms are preserved, transformed, and transmitted across generations.

Land explores the relationship between communities and the territories that shape their ways of life.
