Exquisite Proof aestheticizes and records the moment of metamorphosis. The pinprick of the subject forcing itself through into another plane, the fissure occurring before our eyes: the before, the after, the act that unites the two states of existence together within the same visual space. Within the series Exquisite Proof, the ephemeral is being utilized as a means to document and preserve a moment of transformation, to understand it more fully, to aestheticize a moment that oftentimes occurs without our knowing or understanding that it has even occurred. We rarely engaged with metamorphosis so abruptly or so distinctly, for humans it is a gradual change, a series of events which alter us, which impose that transformation. This series condenses this progression into a singular image in order to depict that which occurred, that which is occurring, and that which will occur. Exquisite Proof is the fissure, the puncture, the wound that opens up another existence.

Oyster | Made over the course of 10 years, Oyster is a visual diary compiled by Marzocchi as a ways to uncover clues in understanding his absent parents. At times boardering on frustration and violence his images express his search for a 'culprit', a cause for his disfunctional childhood environment. Using archival and original imagery, the artist ransacks the past to build a present in a process of forgiving and letting go, as a search to find love and healing.

This series is about land, gender, and the adaptation of vernacular photographs. I grew up in a male dominated farming environment. Labelled a “tomboy” for being gender rebellious – a word I now understand is problematic and carries baggage about gender behavior, sexuality, and what it means to be a girl – my sense of self was shaped by how I was taught to cooperate with the land. Be practical, logical, down-to-earth. Historically, men were the predominant explorers of land, on foot and visually. In this series, I ask: can landscapes, majestic or ordinary, be gendered? To what extent can I re-shape representations of land as opposed to them shaping me? I hand-cut and collage vernacular photographs of land taken by men to present these questions. I rework and thus begin to reclaim the male gaze on the land. I turn landscapes into semi-figurative studies.

This series looks at the drying landscape of the Salton Sea and brief encounters with its surrounding area. Initially an accident, the Salton Sea became an ecological experiment that is now a disappearing artifact of American resort culture. Sometimes the places we go become a direct reflection of where we've come from.

A selection of photographs taken on my travels from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Los Angeles, California, U.S.A in November of 2015 - April 2016. Leaving the comforts of home behind, I lived in my '88 Dodge Ram camper van. I planned to capture everyday life as I saw it. With my Pentax 6x7 hanging around my neck, I photographed everything looking down; using the waist level viewfinder. Once I arrived back to Toronto, I had 70+ rolls of medium format film to be processed. I am still sorting through these photographs, scanning these negatives and continuously adding to this collection of photographs.

Over the course of several weeks, I created the series 'Flipside'. When we think about fairs, most of us will imagine similar things: a bright and sunny day, loud music playing in the background, children running around and people laughing, a carefree atmosphere... But what happens when you take those same people out of the picture - quite literally? When everything is abandoned and closed down? I wanted to explore this almost parallel universe. The silence and sadness stuck to me from the very beginning, and kept on fascinating me throughout this project

Withetude is work about the Venice lagoon. The landscape becomes a still life where the blizzard takes the place of the photographic studio "backdrop". In this context, I extrapolate the loneliness that transmits this place to me, making it tangible. In love with the landscape, during my travels I try to capture what nature tries to transmit through its "architectural compositions".

At one moment, spending time in video chat with my friends I was surprised by interesting hobby of some young and not so young people from different countries to show the camera their genitals, and sometimes making it with the most extraordinary ways. I started devoting more time to these chats, especially trying to find such people. I waited until I come across such a companion, then “photographed” him by pressing “Prt Sc”. For all the time I spent in the video chats, I captured about 200-300 of such characters, and then selected the most interesting in my opinion. This is how the left side of the picture became. For the right side, I chose trees. Photos with them were created with the use of a mobile phone with 3.2 megapixel camera, monitor, and “Google”. I compared the left side with the pictures of trees, as they are, I think, represent loneliness the most.

The memory of the present is a photographic exploration of the actual Tuscan area in Italy, photographed between 2017 and 2018 in over 40 urban and suburban locations. This ongoing project captures the most mundane and typical elements of landscape - countryside crossroads, vernacular architectures, river banks, memorial statues, ruins of ancient walls, postwar buildings infrastructure - that could be seen virtually in any tuscan locality. 

It's also a work about collective memory and archetypes: the project focuses expecially on the altered landscape, urban and rural in equal parts, trying to emerging, to eyes and mind, the image of the everyday landscape that we tend unconsciously to suppress.

Maryland Parkway | The ‘City of Lights’ guise of Las Vegas, Nevada, exists only to a 4 mile run known as the ‘Strip’. Walk a little east or west of this and find yourself
within a world overshadowed by the billion-dollar entertainment industry, fuelled by tourists who travel from all over the world to get a piece of the action. When the thrill seekers, gamblers and party goers have reached the end of their hedonistic and excessive bout, they head back home, but for many, the city is home, a desert city, recovering ever so slowly from economic hardship.

To photograph something is, often, to choose to make a seemingly insignificant subject meaningful. Significance can be found in the eeriness of wooden people placed in a corn maze, or in the beauty of an old amusement park ride called Orbiter.

The Pennsylvania Railroad was one of the most storied institutions in American history, operating the largest railroad in the US for over a century. The PRR, as it was known, developed infrastructure, engineering standards and traffic systems that still carry trains today on a system that evolved continually through its long history.

One of the most impressive memories of mine is the one of Cabine Street, at Lapa do Lobo. It was where I spent a great number of my school holidays, in the house, at my grandparents' grocery or at Vale do Boi, where my grandfather did his farming.

The starting point for this project was the Augè’s definition of non-place and the will to verify if his concept can be applied to the contemporary landscape. The appropriate area of research for this investigation has been identified in the seaside town of Bibione, in the province of Venice.

A dream, that had become a nightmare. A month-long, highly anticipated journey had turned out to be one of the worst experiences, even before setting off. Discovering Iceland with a person, who has still been a life partner only a month before, presently being just a difficult memory, was the reason behind a highly turbulent material.

During World War II, my father was given a small handgun by his uncle -a guerrilla fighting the Nazis in the Pindos ranges in Greece- to protect the family. He was six years old. Although his uncle was one of the liberators of Thessaloniki in late 1944, he was murdered by Greek traitors the following year.
