Aldo Bloise born in Pisa (Italy) in 1972, is as much as a self-educated photographer, than taught from its random encounters and friendships with other artists or photographers. His work, mainly silver black and white, is essentially composed of street photography, chasing in a futile quest, the one and only picture he will never get. The subjects he treasures the most are certainly the lively streets of Japan and Italy within their architecture hidden spots and most of all its people. Indeed it took him about 15 years of photography to discover that these two countries shared some of their latitudes and light, but also that his name was pronounced the same way in its native dialect and…Japanese. Through these snapshots of genuine stories and moments, he tries to catch a slowness and pace that we are about to lose but also an intimate and intricate search of identity between these two countries.
