Giacomo Fortunato
Turning twenty-one years old is a milestone in American culture. At this age one is labeled as a responsible, mature and independent member of society.
Twenty-one did not bring anything new to me… I had been drinking for years, I had been living in the same city almost my entire life, and I was still hanging out with the same group of childhood friends. I realized that instead of becoming “Adults,” my friends and I were in a state of arrested development.
My work explores the perpetual reversion we all have to childlike and adolescent mentalities. Through my photographs I demonstrate how we consciously or unconsciously hold onto our past while coping with the social norms that are expected of us.
