NDE (Near-Death Experience) is a profound personal experience associated with death or impending death which researchers claim share similar characteristics. In fact, people with very different religious, political and social beliefs, have documented their experiences which share many elements in common: the presence of a strong light, a sense of bliss and changes in personality.
Alba lux is an artistic project that combines documentation and conceptual photography. The photographs become real symbolic images, reproducing idyllic atmospheres and ineffable realities. It’s a multidisciplinary journey between spirituality and science, which begins within the earthly reality and then takes off within the otherworldly one.
I found the subjects within social networks like Facebook and through personal connections. At first they were quite wary but after clarifying my intentions I was able to meet them.
Each experience is very different and connoted by different religious aspects. Some have experienced it positively, others were traumatized and suffered from depression. Each story is described by three different photographs: the first two want to represent the subject and his changes, the third is a conceptual interpretation of the experience they lived. The writings inserted are texts in Italian written directly by the subjects about their experiences.
