For over a decade (2008-2018), photographer Francesco Marchini documented a group of roman friends dedicated to graffiti. Rather than focusing on their artwork, he captured the spaces and moments they inhabited, emphasizing gestures, emotions, and spontaneous events. His photos span from abandoned industrial sites to archaeological ruins, train yards to residential squats, depicting the blend of vandalism and the struggles of daily life. In his monograph, The Far Site, Marchini pairs his black and white photos with semi-autobiographical fictional writing, exploring the narrative potential of these experiences and offering a deeper look into Rome’s graffiti scene, beyond its well-known stories.
