Staff
Summary
A photographic project by Riccardo Magherini that captures the disorientation of traveling through dense urban environments like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Hanoi. Rather than documenting what was seen, Magherini composites hundreds of fragments in the studio to reconstruct the emotional experience of being present but not belonging in unfamiliar places.

Each image is a composition of hundreds of fragments gathered and layered in the studio until the image begins to carry the emotional weight of the experience itself.
The result is not a record of what was seen but a reconstruction of what was felt.
