Davide Sartori’s research in ‘The shape of our eyes, other things
I wouldn‘t know’ explores the relationship between the photographer and his father. Set between their respective workplaces, the photography studio and the airport, the project unfolds through a series of collaborative attempts to build a connection.
Combining constructed images with documentary observations, the publication traces this process, presenting photographs as both evidence of a relationship and tools through which that relationship is renegotiated.
Through themes of labour, masculinity, vulnerability, and intergenerational trauma, Sartori reflects on inherited roles and societal expectations. At once personal and universal, the work offers a moving meditation on presence, absence, and the possibility of rewriting familial narratives.
