This is an unpublished project premiered today on C41 Magazine.
Simone Filpa is an anthropologist and photographer born in 1991 in Milan, Italy.
His main interest is visual storytelling and he uses photography to investigate the relationship between people and their environment with an intimate approach. He works on a fine line between documentary and creative/poetic language trying to produce questions on the topics he explores with photography.
About As the wings of an angel – words by Simone Filpa:
I would like to take the smell of the sea with me.
The sound of its waves crashing on the rocks.
The heat of the sun on my skin.
Dive.
Swim and then dive again.
The world runs fast.
Sometimes adulthood scares me.
I would like to stop for a moment.
Hear only the sound of the wind on top of a rock.
The breath in my lungs.
It is better when you are young.
