Mind your Head! is a collection of portraits of the medical and nursing personnel of the Neurology Department of Padua. From 2010 and 2015, during his residency in Neurology, Michelangelo carried out this photographic project aiming to show his colleagues from an inner perspective not accessible from outside the clinical environment.
Taken with a medium format camera and using exclusively natural light, this series of photographs portrays each subject inside their own office and surrounded by their books, artworks, objects and tools of choice. Medics, technicians, and nurses look directly into the camera, inviting the audience to see the real person laying underneath the impersonal barrier represented of the white coat.
The message is positive, direct, and true.
