Title: “Last Cigarette In LA”

Project: “West Safari”

Artist: Francesco Aglieri Rinella

Medium: Cinestill800T - Mamiya RZ67

Description:

“Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles,15 May 2022”

I crumple the last pack of cigarettes that frees me from the oppressive thoughts of my life, I discuss with myself if there is still the same hope as many years ago. I watch, in the void, the cars that thunder on the asphalt outside and echo within the walls of my Motel, on a most lost Saturday night ever. I look up at the sky as large planes land, bringing beating hearts home. "

About The Project:

4000km, in the extreme West of the United States of America, traveled "on the road".
The importance of moving with the body, but above all with the mind, guides me to the freedom of expression through photography, today an essential tool of my daily life.
The search for light gives me an unstoppable desire to compose and document what my eyes see through my camera.
