About the project<\/strong><\/p>

In SKIN, and Under<\/em>, Mattio\u2019s lens descends beneath carefully constructed fa\u00e7ades of masculinity. The work does not seek the expected hardness of the warrior, but the exposed, luminous fragility of youth. A recurring motif of hands\u2014clasped, reaching, holding\u2014reveals a quiet insistence on connection.<\/p>

Nudity here is not provocation but revelation: an offering of truth laid bare. Each portrait functions as a palimpsest, where vulnerability, uncertainty, and desire surface through gesture, posture, and gaze.<\/p>

The photographs explore the tension between societal expectations and lived experience, inviting the viewer to reconsider assumptions about masculinity, strength, and self-awareness. Vulnerability emerges not as weakness, but as a form of resistance\u2014an alternative to performance.<\/p>

Ultimately, SKIN, and Under<\/em> is not simply a collection of images, but an invitation to dwell in the unresolved spaces of identity, where softness persists beneath hardened shells.<\/p>

The book<\/h6>

The project is gathered in a carefully produced publication, printed to exacting standards using four-color UV printing on 150 gsm Fedrigoni matte paper. The reproductions preserve tonal depth and material presence, offering an intimate reading of the work in sequence.<\/p>
