Polaroids David Sorrenti 1994-1997

The book was curated and edited by Davide’s mother Francesca: “Davide’s photography was a reflection of the youth culture of the 90s; engulfed in rap music, skateboarding and ‘gangsta’ culture. Almost 25 years have gone by since his passing and still the love for his persona and his work lives on. During the 2020 lockdown, I was looking at his Polaroids and reminiscing about a lifetime gone. I realized that a collection of these moments should be the next book. The second book to uncover the archive of this young man, my son, who produced all these Polaroids, photographs – and the diaries and fashion work – in such a short period of time. These pictures show the love he had for friends, family and the world that surrounded him.” (Francesca Sorrenti)
