The body of work is the outcome of the author's research on her own experience of existing, depicted in the form of photographic self-portraits, as opposed to the experience of the substances that constitute the ecosystem we live in, explored through immersive photograms.
How can a human being try to transcend her own skin and imagine how it feels to go through certain parts of existence in the shoes of a substance other than her body?
The sheets of Fujiflex Color paper, physically immersed for some seconds in the most powerful – equally fascinating and terrifying – substances surrounding humans and successively developed in the darkroom, capture the point of view of each substance. Federica embodies at once the human subject, the viewer, and the facilitator of self-portraits painted by inorganic substances.

The result is a self-portrait, be that of the author or her ecosystem, that questions anthropocentrism.
