The Skype project is part of one of my photographic assignments for my MA course; during its production, I was encouraged and supervised by my tutor and friends.



It involves my research in the contemporary material culture and sociological observation as well as a poetic approach to issues related to memory, continuity, transfer of objects, and hope.



It focuses on my meetings with a skip/bin in which people put things they didn't need in order to be taken by those who might need them. As my relationship with this skip evolved, I named it SKYPE as a metaphor for its transfer/communication function.



The poetic dialogues do not seek to give answers or to solve the above-mentioned issues; I struggle to be an observer as I become more and more attached to Skype's aura.



This is an amazing experience which shaped the way in which I look at the world; its mission is to make the readers understand in more depth the mechanisms of memory, transfer and lost, and to immerse themselves in a special chemistry of the city.
