Una bellissima intervista a Massimo Berruti.
Biografia:
Italian. Born in 1979 in Rome where he presently lives.
After a few photography courses, Massimo Berruti stopped his biology studies in 2003 to delve deeper into photography. A freelance photographer since 2004, he started to work in Eastern Europe and mostly Italy. There he focused on immigration, suburbs and the industrial crisis plaguing the region.
Since 2007 he has travelled in central Asia, particulary Pakistan and Afghanistan, and began approaching the subject of social change.
"It is very rare that one experiences so directly, before a photographic work, the feeling of what inspired it and of what from day to day was its purpose. It is especially so as this feeling is completely contrary to what we think – or believe – we know of war photography"
Christian Caujolle in "Lashkars" Ed Actes Sud 2011
