Descrizione
Also available in size 52 x 52 and light box 100x100 cm
Getting in touch with the last few ethnic minorities in the Mu Cang Chai region of North Vietnam was a unique experience. I was able to know their stories only indirectly due to the language barrier and that is why I chose to represent them through a universal language, that of emoticons. These luminous pictographic symbols gravitate around them like an aura, describing their life experience. The rings, depending on the age of the person portrayed, appear in a variable number as if to symbolize the circles in the trunks of the trees. They are tied to their body between the shoulders and the head, there are those who wear them with ease, those who suffer them passively, those who are overwhelmed by them.

These are not just photographs, but shots that clearly show everyone a process of modification, distortion and alienation undergone by the subjects portrayed and their territory.
