Elisa Roman - DÉJÀ-VU
Youth is a recurring constant. A kind of dejavu. A temporary disruption in the perception of time. Perhaps an error in processing and storing information.

Read MoreErgo Sum is a project of photographs and videos made between Europe and Argentina with different graffiti crews in the bowels of cities.
Read More"Youth" captures the fleeting, vibrant energy of adolescence, set against the backdrop of amusement parks and urban landscapes. These images explore the intersection of innocence and adventure, where structures designed for play become stages for self-discovery.
Read MoreI grew up there with cement and tiny fake grass because my father is a hydraulic engineer. I watched my father walking through that shadow and sunlight, looking at the world he made. Humans become the god at a specific moment and space to recreate the nature that can be controlled by them.
Read MoreOn the outskirts of Frankfurt, nestled within an industrial area, lies an enclave that undergoes a quiet transformation every Sunday.
Read MoreStemming from a pagan tradition where peasants constructed fires with domestic waste to celebrate the end of winter and seek protection for the new year ahead the tradition has taken a unique turn in the city of Napoli.
Read MoreBetween 2011 and 2013, I documented a group of fashion models from former Soviet countries working in Hong Kong. As a photographer, my work has always focused on exploring the intersection of culture and identity. My project, "HK Top Models," delves into these themes through the experiences of young people from former Soviet countries who come to Hong Kong to pursue modeling.
Read MoreIn "Through the Revolving Door," my photographic project delves into the nuanced accessibility of "semi-public space" within the context of our era's pervasive privatization.
Read MoreThe Sibillini Mountains are rich in narratives closely tied to the figure of the Apennine Sibyl. Prophetess, friend of the people, Madonna, pagan deity, personification of evil—she embodies the place's inherent ambiguity
Read MoreThe concession of the word being carries within it a sense of decadence, forgetfulness, and unawareness. The brilliance of the beginning illuminates our understanding, but it does so by confronting us with our own negativity.
Read MoreThe premise of my project is around the hyperreality produced by Disneyland as a manufactured architectural happiness. I shot the work on several separate occasions concentrating on the facades and imagining it coming together as a series of postcards. There are a lot of underlying themes, consumerism, utopian dream, 'Meinong's Jungle', all of which add to a satirical and sickly sweet view of the place.

In what does the image of a country consist? Thus begins the collection of texts “Infinite Circles” by Cees Nootebom. This is one of the questions I asked myself when I first visited Japan.
Read MorePaired in playful conversation with each other, "I’m good, how are u?" is a striking collection of photographs that finds the strange beauty in the decay of the ordinary, revealing the poetry hiding in plain sight.

Read MoreMy work examines the idea of community and its intersection with society, interrogating the limits of contemporary definitions of human intimacy and the importance of solitary.
Read MoreThis collection documents an unexpected journey during my travels, in a place called Norgris Town, where I spent the final days of winter. The Daltons, who have three children, graciously took me in. However, it was the peculiar pre-dinner prayer that piqued my curiosity…
Read More‘You Are Everything to Me’ reflects on the expected role of motherhood in the patriarchal vision; an idealised myth that dictates how mothers should feel and behave according to social norms. Through my images, I delve into the unsettling reality faced by some mothers who become prisoners of their maternal life, weighed down by the negation of their own well-being, desires, and identity. Through my work, I seek to dismantle the poetic imagery and stereotypes surrounding motherhood, and shed light on the silent battles faced by countless mothers who live through something so universally treasured and revered - motherhood - with extreme loneliness and despair. I invite the viewers to hear the voices of all those mothers who find it difficult to ask for help, either out of shame or for fear of their own sentiments. In an era where just a handful of nations have taken concrete steps to implement supportive policies, I am driven to raise awareness of, and provoke much-needed conversations about, these concealed and unsupported experiences so these important - if difficult - stories can be told.
The project relates my special connections to the sea and swimming. Since childhood, the sea has been a symbolic environment for me, from which I draws psychological certainty and support. Swimming, physically overcoming the expanse of the sea, becomes a metaphor for the path to oneself, an accessible way of reassembling one’s personality, a simple way to look into one’s own depth.
Delicate - fragile bloom, the tender touch that leaves an indelible mark. Photography is my safe space, a sanctuary where I can embrace softness, calm, and delicacy
Read MoreThese photographs are of worlds built with my own hands. The concept of how space affects internal life is central to my process. Fabricated spaces or events have a theatricality that thrills me.
