With over 8 years experience in film work from props-making, scene installation, costume designing to all kinds of work as a director, my current creations are almost inevitably cinematic. My family background has an influence as well, I'm the kid of a drama director and an actress, and grew up backstage.  I make a lot of sketches before I take a picture. The images are already perfect in my mind. Later I have only to recover the images with a camera. Sometimes I write poems for the works. Like a photograph, a poem is a broken and blurred narrative way to help me find some slight, sensitive feeling. In life I remember scenes that move me, costumes and styles that are interesting, friends who could be my models. Then, when a clear theme comes into my mind, all the broken memories begin to integrate. It's clear enough to be recorded. For my photographs, I can make the props, modify the costumes and wigs, even do the make-up, a team is not that necessary. Basically, my team is formed by my friends spontaneously, no regular size, sometimes ten or more people, sometimes only two, the model and I.
