Riccardo Cavallari, photographer

I was born with a vision disorder known as diplopia. This means that the visions created from both my eyes do not converge into one sigle image. In simple words I see everything double. The result is a distorted image: two images that overlap with an error of 7 degrees, thus creating a very confused reality.

Photography is, in the majority of cases, a monocular vision. Therefore I see the world as “normal” only through the lens of a camera. Some of my images tend to recreate the world as I see it, even enhancing this distortion.

I have been working for many years exploring multiple-exposure on a single frame, creating images that contain a large quantity of distortions, errors, shadows and spots allowing my medium to surprise me.

For the same reason, I am interested in archaic pre-Kodak photography, wet-plate collodion, bromoil prints, daguerrotypes and everything today called ancient photographic printing techniques.
