Life of a singularity...

... is my first photographic book. 

Through nude and erotic portraits I will show you a fictional biography of a singularity. The story of human beings, of separate singularities who try to conceal the differences that divide us.

The story is broken into three acts: Mimesis, the act of resembling and presenting the self, in which I tried to mimic normality, to conform. The Clinic, in which I was diagnosed and conditioned to fit in. And lastly, the Circus, where I discovered the potential of being a singularity. 

200 copies of the book will be printed, format 24 cm x 34 cm and it contains 120 pages of b/w photographs. All photos are reproductions of vintage gelatin-silver prints, as I only work with analog photographic equipment, as back in the old days.

The book is now in its final stages...

... but I need your help to finish this project.

I am aiming to raise 1000 € to cover part of the printing costs for the 200 copies. All the dedicated work done by the graphic designer, models, writers and all people who collaborate at the project is demanding a further effort from all of you.

Even though the work of all the people involved was volunteering, I still have to cover the printing and production cost of 2600 €.
