BLIND RUSSIAN BLUES

Blind Russian Blues It’s a trip.

A family trip.

A man trip, a father trip.

A descent into a new dimension, unknown but real and

disperate at the same time

which leaves the bitter flavour of bleary-eyed memoirs,

evanescent in the miserable blurry of retrò dreams

strugly hard to forget.

A descent into a glacial hell, lived by no-fault angels, waiting

for their salvation, dipped like into an ice ocean, lost in the

eternal encounters,

encounters which are tears, encounters which are hands

looking for love,

hands that keep each others.

A descent which is a soul kidnapping. harrowing in the blurred

images

which give help to the heart looking for love.

Light dancers into the mud

Flight uncertain as their future which is waiting for’em

And worried war eyes

On little no-fathers soldiers faces.

Toys as trophies

Just cut the hope far fair air

The Polaroid photography project, Blind Russian Blues

carried out in a Russian orphanage, captures the essence of childhood in an environment marked by the absence of a traditional family, but also by the resilience and dreams of these children. Polaroids, with their immediate authenticity, become a perfect tool for capturing moments of everyday life, looks, gestures, games and silences that tell much more than words.

The images reflect the vulnerability and hope of the young protagonists. Each shot captures a reality that is sometimes harsh, but always steeped in humanity. There are no filters or manipulations: each photograph is a tangible piece of reality, delivered directly into the hands of the viewer. The portraits show the joy of little ones in everyday interactions, but also moments of solitude and introspection.

Through the Polaroid format,

a bond is created between the photographer and the children, who immediately see the result of the images, often reacting with wonder. This project is not just a visual document, but an opportunity to restore dignity and visibility to those who are often forgotten. The project becomes an intimate and touching testimony to their lives, fragile but full of possibilities
