Michela Zirretta

Currently studying at Middlesex University. I always liked taking pictures, but in the past I was kind of stuck in a difficult world, which has obstructed my path to Photography. This difficult world I was in was the world of drugs. To be more precise, I was addicted to illegal squat parties and all the activities which happen in the illegal party scene. I was deeply involved in this scene for nearly 4 years, and it was extremely hard to leave behind. I do not regret anything but I thank God everyday to have had the chance to end the chapter of my life that would only take me to death. I left London 6 years ago looking back now is like watching an old movie. I have followed squatters for nearly one year documenting their lifestyle, resulting in a series of pictures which have helped me come to terms with my past and leave it behind.
