HOMO on Clich.hé magazine

Issue 4 of the photography magazine CLIC.HÈ is out now and features a gallery of 11 shots taken from the Crisco nights galleries + a short intro I wrote for the occasion.

Here is the translation for the intro:
Straight and (h)omo can merge in variations and nuances that are the only true meaning of sexuality. Variations that have been always denied because culturally challenging in the context of reproductive needs, are undeniable in the human need of emotional and tangible fun. The photos in this series are taken from a [much larger] series I made in 6 months of 2009 at the florentine Crisco club; the club was just reopening after a change of management and philosophy of fruition and the evenings of those first two seasons showed the liberating effect on a largely new and curious clientele, now made if people that could finally mingle and have fun together leaving a few taboos out of the door. Heterosexuality and homosexuality were superimposed and shooting these photos was primarily a [prolonged] fun moment especially for those who were portrayed. Leafing through these pictures one gets the impression that the interchangeability given by pleasure is the only thing that matters, breaking down differences intrinsic in words like “homosexual” and “heterosexual”. [Everything here goes back to] the couple, the group, and also the ostentation and the loneliness.
