Not Exactly the Reality is a subjective exploration of the vibrant and colorful city of Melbourne, Australia. For several months, I wandered in the areas of Fitzroy, Brunswick and the CBD, walking from a street to another, getting lost in the maze of shopping malls, waiting at a tram station or sitting on a public bench watching the flow of people coming and going.

Not Exactly the Reality is my first street series. Accustomed to wide open spaces, wildlife and quietness, find myself in the middle of a gigantic crowded and always moving city was such a new experiment. Defining an angle to my series was therefore essential to frame my work. After a few days observing the life around me, what amazed me the most were the colours and the diversity of people. Shop, bar and café windows, the multitude of languages spoken, the skyscrapers lights, the clothes of passers-by, people’s multiculturalism, the colour was everywhere just like the plurality of the inhabitants.
