William Eggleston’s work - large print photography depicting his native country - was a key reference for this project. What we are seeing is portraits of specific details that make each scene different from the other, details that are glorified to the point where we can see their true nature. Maria Giulia also wanted to focus our attention on diversity, which often leads to isolation. Uniqueness - a question of details in this case - is indeed the center of attention in these photographs. But uniqueness isn't always understood or accepted by everyone.
