The Fragments are parts of different works, this is a retrospective issue which I have devoted most in the year while going through an evolution of my approach and visions.

Photography is asking to follow and to feel the absolute freedom in the moment, which then allows to approach the subject or object, without affecting to the time or the conditions of a given situation. It's hard to make the photos that would last in time, the so-called good photos. We are constantly exposed to a variety of images, so that visual contaminations blur our perception. The constant task of the photographer is tireless and never ending research on everything he sees and what, as mental revised, he then offers to the public, from his subjective point of view.

Fabio Sgroi


Fabio Sgroi (Palermo in Sicily, Italy, 1965) started dealing in photography in 1986. For two years he has been working with Letizia Battaglia and Franco Zecchin, taking photos for the magazine "L'Ora" in Palermo. At the same time, he begins to explore issues specific to the Sicilian region, such as processions, festivals and everyday life.
In the following years, he spend long periods of time in different parts of Europe, also documenting the other parts of the world.
Since 2000, he has started to use the panoramic format, focusing to the landscape.
