Leisure time 6 by Massimo Siragusa

In this series, Massimo Siragusa explores beaches, theme parks, aqua parks to find out and show us how our leisure time has been commercialized and homogenized.

For Massimo Siragusa, photography is just not art but also a visual form of research, with which he can find what governs our behavior, our society at a place, at a time. In this series, he explores beaches, theme parks, aqua parks to find out and show us how our leisure time has been commercialized and homogenized. Once our spare time was used to search for our identity. And now, as in his photos, one can see that no-identity sites are the frame for searching for relaxing. Such an evading time may represent a tool for social conditioning and research for homologation, enabled by such a way of spending private time, which becomes mass consumption.
