To analyse that we read as natural or staged and why I have used the way in which the canadian photographer Jeff Wall makes us to wonder what we are looking at, may be staged or may be natural. He creates an absolutelly controlled stage to take a picture in which all is precisely manipulated to render a spontaneous and accidental piece of reality.
My exercise consists of simulating a piece of a street that does not exist and cast some reflections on some surfaces. The reflections are taken from a real place, so they are the unique real thing of the picture while the objects that reflect them are not. This way I try to make you wonder what is natural or staged and at the same time I use the reflection system to represent or better said simulate a piece of an hybrid reality, one in which one not existing but familiar place is reflecting another not familiar but real one.
