STONE BUTTERFLY by Cristina Ferraiuolo

Cristina Ferraiuolo spent many yeas taking pictures of her city, Naples, wondering around the neighbourhoods with her scooter, always open to new encounters. She takes pictures of female teenagers, nowadays proud Amazons, riding their scooters like she did, conquering few meters of their surroundings in a crazy ride, ready to rock the world in that very short moment of their lives when everything seems possible. Cristina’s street photography is of an intimate kind, almost an oxymoron, like the book title, Stone butterfly, like these woman-child ladies identity, where beauty and vitality co-exist with a kind of tragic sense of existence.
