Heimatlos/Stateless starts from a seemingly neutral definition: 'a person who has emigrated and has no citizenship'. However, this political and economic definition is insufficient to describe a more subtle and intimate condition. In this project, the concept of 'homelessness' is not defined by the absence of a place, but by the complexity of inhabiting multiple spaces. The work emerges from the tension between two specific locations — Capalbio in the Tuscan Maremma and Berlin in Brandenburg — not as opposing extremes, but as contrasting emotional states. Transitioning between places generates an ambivalent state: the loss that accompanies leaving and the joy of returning. This is not uprooting, but continuous oscillation; a form of emotional instability reflected in the gaze. The project rejects sensationalism; the images are essential and linear and devoid of narrative artifice or visual seduction. This formal approach is influenced by two key aspects of the photographer's work: the conceptual and chromatic sensitivity of Luigi Ghirri, and the typological rigour of the Düsseldorf School.

Like the two countries that run through the project, these influences do not contrast, but contaminate each other. In photographic practice and research method, Italy and Germany converge, producing a precise, silent, hybrid language in which photography serves as an instrument of observation rather than identity affirmation.
