Sergio: 'Through my photographs, I try to capture the intricate relationships between humans and their urban environments and reflect the complexities of contemporary life. I’m interested in revealing the ways in which our daily experiences are shaped by technology, architecture and commerce and how these factors can influence our emotions, desires, and anxieties. In my shots I make large use of multiple exposure, a technique that allows to combine 2 or more photos directly in camera: with this tool I explore the beauty of our contemporary cityscapes, where neon lights, buildings, screens, shop signs, machines, interact with humans. These shots want to be a reflection of our hopes, our fears, our frustrations, an invitation for the viewers to step into a world that is both familiar and unsettling, where reality and fantasy dissolve.'
