This is a project developed over a period of about one year between 2018 and 2019, on adolescence and the use of social media in this phase of life. This project tells the adolescent universe by portraying a group of 4 friends (between 15 and 16 years old ) and documenting their social activities on Instagram, through screenshots of their posts and stories. The two visual forms intersect and feed on each other. The ego formation during the adolescent years, today cannot be separated from the use of social media, and of Instagram in particular. Through this channel we privilege visual content in the form of photography or short videos, the "stories", which have a duration of only 24 hours to transmit to the virtual audience the moving snapshots of ordinary moments, made special in this way. The entire project (herein excerpt) consists of a greater number of screenshots to underline the overabundance of visual content produced by social media. The posts/stories tell firsthand the aspects that characterize this age: cheekiness, fragility, contradictions, the affirmation of identity, fashions, recognizing oneself in a precise image, the need to feel appreciated, that of expressing appreciation, feeling part of a group and drawing attention to oneself, new discoveries, excesses, fears, feeling great, pains and promises of love. This is a project representing adolescence as not linked to a specific period or event with its relative trends, but a sense of adolescence in which everyone could reflect themselves: something shallow but at the same time full of overwhelming emotions and feelings. I wanted to represent adolescence as a box without a label as a metaphor for individuals who have not yet formed, who have not yet identified themselves in anything in particular. I also wanted this box to represent a sense of emptiness, but at the same time, it should be full of overwhelming emotions: the desire to appear, friendship, love, feeling lost, the desire to grow up, the construction of identity. The entire project becomes a public multimedia diary and the choral story of young people who weave their relationships not only live, but also and above all in a virtual way, and talks about how recognizing and protecting each other is fundamental in this age in search of oneself. {Note: the project was carried out between 2018 and 2019 with the consent and with the liberation signed by the parents of the minors portrayed}
