Le Monde Ou Rien

Concept

"Le Monde Ou Rien" is a journey through the daily life of young people who live in the suburbs of Milan.

The Italians of tomorrow, children of immigrants from all over the world, grow up in neighbourhoods on the edge of the richest city in Italy.

Quarto Oggiaro, San Siro, La Trecca, Cinisello Balsamo, Barona are just some of the many neighborhoods that exist in a dimension parallel to the city that hosts them.

Moving from one place to the other, I noticed how the iconography and everyday issues are perpetually repeated throughout the territory.

The days are spent in the neighbourhood dressed in overalls and shoulder bags, with phones in hand, sitting on the benches, in the parks.

The ring road, the road that traces the boundary of the city centre, becomes the line that separate two worlds. The process of self-representation is scrupulous, attentive. They are eclectic, performative personalities.
