Title
PISA CIRCUS
Place

PISA, ITALY
Year
2019

There are two things that thousands of tourists a year cannot miss when they visit the city of Pisa: to see its famous leaning tower, and to take a picture with it.
The fact is that the ritual of the souvenir photo with the monument reached the point that has turned now into something almost comic. Lots of people take turns to be photographed, by friends, relatives or even strangers, in strange positions sometimes with funny contortions. Looking at them, without paying attention to the tower that they're supposed to try to hold up, makes that the show is no longer the famous Tower of Pisa, but the people posing to be photographed with it and their weird moves. This series aims to stimulate a reflection about issues related to mass tourism and related clichés.
