50 numbered copies (available in Italian and English)
containing 10 PHOTO POSTCARDS (16x11 format)
and an A5 BOOKLET - with an unpublished story written by Lulù Withheld inside -
will take you on a melancholic journey through the suburb aboard a battered Volkswagen
with "Alison" by Slowdive as the soundtrack.

“There’s Nothing Here, But That’s Okay” was born from the need to fill a melancholic and voracious void in which the suburb is able to suck you in.
That void where, as often happens, new imperceptible stimuli and frequencies are hidden that open to deep and sometimes painful thoughts.
It is in the search and discovery of that “nothingness” that “There’s Nothing Here, But That’s Okay” has its roots.
A journey, as told by Lulù Withheld in her unpublished story that you can find inside the booklet,
that tears through “a distant, cruel, and seductive suburb. My suburb, his suburb. It doesn’t matter if it’s from the South, the North, or an island”,
within which “there are fragments of Italy, religion, atheism, slowness, abandonment, nostalgia,
beauty, lost moments, like lost corners of the world and the universe”.

There’s Nothing Here, But That’s Okay is an independent photographic project
realized, produced and printed between October 2023 and November 2024.
