residenza cappel verdi

i made these images between july 2nd and july 18th of 2024 while staying at a student residence in turin, italy.

i asked other residents to let me take their portrait in their room using their own phone camera.

i asked them to send me a screenshot of a private text conversation.

i arranged the images here among snippets of the texts translated into english.
