She calls it “a little obsession” that draws back to her architectural college studies, that now turn into a photographic work on his buildings.

A tireless, visionary, ironic architect, firmly committed to the inseparability of the arts, Sacripanti has always fascinated the photographer for his being an avantgard designer and a clear mind.

“Space in architecture is the representation of the decline of a relation: physically, between horizontal and vertical dimension, the dimensions of the human beings” (Maurizio Sacripanti).
