[…] Point & Shoot. It might literally sound like instructions for a handgun. Or rather, ‘look around you and shoot’. At the heart of it, there are thirty-six frames – little more than a metre and a half of film – and nothing else. The photographer has a single thought: to take photographs. He is poised between a ‘before’ which has just gone by and an ‘after’ which has yet to materialise, waiting for a shot which is already hanging in the air. Photography, in its purest form, is the reaction to this impulse. It’s the bridge between what has been and what will be: a moment of grace, one which is to the photographic act what a sock is to a foot. With the advent of digital photography, the practice of point & shoot was to change into something very similar but opposite: shoot & point. Looking around is no longer enough. You need the selfie, the control screen and the online feedback. Like or dislike? Keep or delete? Which memories will make it past binary code? […] (Alberto Chollet, Journalist and television producer)
“The Point and Shoot Series” is the result of a 15-year long deep observation of those peculiar and common features that characterize the western “peripheral” landscape which is only apparently ordinary and standardized. The work – described by the authors as “A journey into contemporary marginality, full of pop suggestions” – contains 80 images.
