Sei albina da sempre?

She is Roberta. Natural blonde and albino since always (of course). The intent of this project, was to try to break with that widespread ignorance, those stereotypes and myths that revolve around Albinism. Roberta told me about Albinism as a condition. As we all know albinos have vision problems; tends to be around 1/10, 2/10 with correction. For this reason, often they are obliged to use glasses, a magnifying glass or a torch. can have signs of Nystagmus, which is an involuntary movement of the eye that is perceived by the ob- server alone. She has problems with balance and difficulty in perceiving depth, especially with soft light and if the surface has too much color. Roberta tends a lot to help herself with touch, especially when she goes to the mountains or has to untangle cables at work. Difficulties can be innumerable but it does not make them less autonomous or “special”. So, with this project, we tried to broke with the usual angelic vision that we tend to give an albino, joining my vision of Roberta, to some aspects of albinism, linked in turn to an important object for her daily life as if She were seen by her. Come here with your eyes, your life.
