Windows through the world plays on the double meaning of the word "through" . As a matter of fact that this word could mean " windows from around the world " and , at the same time metaphorically " windows through which to observe the world " through which to observe ourselves.
Here a sequence of images taken a bit everywhere around the world but only about shop-windows.
The manequins, therefore, assume a primary part and play a major role. They are there as a part of our cities and our interaction with them gives them a proper life and they become then alive.
At the beginning there was the man and He made the manequins at his own image...
but then the manequins started to get their own life.
Sometimes te image has been taken choosing not to show reflections and giving more importance to the subject itself like it was human.
Some other times reflections play an important part because it looks like these manequins are melted with our cities, being therefore vital part of them as said.
The revenge of the manequins and their claim for a place in our cities everyday's life.
And they really have effect on us seducing us, attracting us, pushing us even to look like them.
Many times I have stated that this is a "forever" project because wherever I go I may meet a manequin there just waiting for me and I can hear Him say " Hi there, why don't you take a picture of me "?
You can bet on it ..I'll be ready.
Here I want to tank the many shop assistants or owners who allowed me to take photographs. Sometimes I have been misunderstood but when I explained my project almost always I have been left free to photograph. Few times the reaction was negative and I am sorry because maybe I din not explain myself clear enough.
