VESPA WORLD

DOCUMENTATION OF A VITAL ASPECT OF ROME

The project focuses on the thing that has captured my attention the first day I arrived in Rome: the Vespa motorcycles. This project shows my interpretation of the presence of these Vespas in the city. There is an extremely dynamic and intimate relationship between machines, the city and its inhabitants. To me, these vehicles define the city more than its historical landmarks. It is one of the less obvious characteristics of the city, but it is more fascinating to me. I created a series of collages to emphasize my theme, “Vespa World”, by showing the randomness and complexity in form, colors, sizes, functions of these machines.
