Developed over the course of a year and a half, this photographic series investigates the Rome Termini hub as a microcosm of opposing tensions.
While the lens crystallizes the frenzy of transit and the search for the platform as a metaphor for an existential pursuit, it also explores the shadowed areas of haste.
Within this collective dynamism, acts of silent resistance emerge: sleeping in train carriages and the ritualistic wait for a cigarette are transformed into moments of temporal suspension. The project thus documents the identity of a non-place where mechanical acceleration coexists with human inertia, fragmenting time into a multitude of different speeds.
