Description of campaign/project
It was inspired by this quote: "I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones." - John Cage
It shows three pictures taken ten years ago of three different slogans nowadays used as anti-imperialistic ones but comparing them along with the context where I took the pictures I've tried to go, as you said, beyond.. From the black, through the red, to the white, as three steps of the same movement made not in order to stop it but move it further.
mostly visual, often written, when I feel like it I write some poetry, or at least I try.
"I share because I care", I'd say right now..
"Increase the Peace" could have a meaning ten years ago that does not have now. The complexity of history goes along with the paradox of communication and in a world that make wars to get peace this might look even more essential in a time when the act of spreading the word must involve the ability to think about it first.

Subfield description
I’ve been working on myself trying to read in between the lines of light. I’ve been looking at the world through the lens of a Yashica-TL Electro and a NikonN65. I now use also a Canon20D, a Yashica Minitec AF and a HPScanjet G3010, sometimes a Nikon Coolpix L110 and my mobile phone too. The first time somebody called me a visual artist was in 2004.
