Pan - Candidate #3
Pan, 33, I live between Pesaro, the city where I was born, and Milan, the city that formed me and where I recently reopened my photographic studio. I am a visual artist with a theatrical and cinematographic background and for over ten years I have been collaborating with international galleries and festivals.
A fundamental part of my artistic, professional and life path is the_dark_side_of_Pan, a photographic project with which I investigate the infinite and changing constellation of kinks and fetishes that surround us, trying to tell them with images capable of transmitting their enormous beauty and complexity. I think that Kinks, as well as art, express the highest essence of the human being, because they are capable of elevating us beyond the functionality of surviving and expanding our senses, our desires and our awareness towards something higher and capable of giving a further meaning to our lives.
Over the years this project has allowed me to collaborate with important realities in the fetish world, such as Recon Issue and Drummer Magazine, and in recent times my "Kinky" works have crossed the invisible border that separates them from the "everyday" world and landed in exhibitions and magazines far from dealing with topics of this kind, generating great curiosity and charm. I have always lived my fetishes and kinks with enthusiasm and naturalness, telling them through images and words. I understood how essential it is to talk about them in first person by offering a direct testimony that removes them from the scandalous narrative to which they are often relegated. This is why I decided to no longer just stay behind the lens of my camera, but to put myself out there to offer direct testimony of a fantastic world, which speaks of responsibility, complicity, trust, awareness and freedom.
