Meet the stranger is an extensive, and methodical research on the world of Chatroulette, a website that brings together via video chat -in an absolutely random way- strangers from all around the world.



The individuals who are connected allow themselves to be filmed in conditions of absolute privacy. Feeling safe from familiar and indiscrete eyes- they instead potentially concede themselves to the eyes of anyone. The result is a roundup of faces -and not only- which in their heterogeneity and their background settings trace a representative slice of life of contemporary civilization.



I decided to include myself in the photos, too. Thus Meet the Stranger means not only to meet him, the other, the unknown but also me, this, that which is known. Thanks to strangers, we are led to establish a relationship, a dialogue or to disagree. To reaffirm an identity that the stranger, with his extraneousness, contributes to reinforcing.
