Being into photography since age 8, I am the unhappy owner of a relatively large and unwieldy archive of pictures. Some of them, however, are lucky enough to end up in some sort of project, the latest of which is unottica, a self-hosted website dedicated to the everyday photographs I take with my pocket camera. Unlike the colorful shots I used to post on an Instagram account by the same name (now permanently deleted), the images that populate this gallery are all unplanned and unedited. Now like then, the name “unottica” refers both to my (predominant) use of single-lens cameras and to a song from a beloved album.

Previous projects include:

• Postcards from Gothenburg / Vykort från Göteborg / Cartoline da Göteborg (2021) is an assignment for a summer course I took at HDK-Valand, as well as one of the very few websites I’ve ever had the misfortune of having to write from scratch
• my blog contains a handful of illustrated posts. Since I’ve given up on any kind of content categorization, I’ll point you to the ones I’m the proudest of:
  • Føroyar (2023), documenting a trip to the Faroe Island. Since I traveled there for a conference, some of the pictures were also part of a departmental art exhibition later on. My friend and colleague Ricardo wrote a nice blog post about the event
  • Vardagsbilder / Foto del quotidiano (2023), the result of a month with an old compact camera in my pocket
• throughout the years, I put together a few photobooks, both handmade and not. These were always meant as gift to individual friends or family, so they only exist in one copy, but I have (suboptimal) PDF exports of two of the ones that I got printed:
  • Do not enter if you think putin is cool, others please come in (2025), documenting another post-conference holiday in the Baltic countries
  • Nya vardagsbilder / Altre foto del quotidiano (2025), sort of a sequel of Vardagsbilder / Foto del quotidiano, although the pictures are taken over a longer period of time and with a slightly better pocket camera. This book contained some text, for instance on the cover, but it was somehow lost in the conversion to PDF

  my next goal is to self-publish a book using exclusively FOSS tools.
