The work focuses on the "dialogue" between an orphanage and hospital in Rushere, Uganda. The life in the orphanage and the one in the hospital are opposite and parallel and they're just close to each other. I spent time coming and going from these two places in order to show the daily life of the people. The joy of childhood is overlapped to the sadness and melancholy of the hospital. The result is an up and down of feelings.

This is Alessandro Cinque, an Italian photojournalist. In 1988 I was born in Orvieto, Italy. Following my interest I dialed with reportage in addition to business photography, starting collaborations with NGOs (Emergency, Amnesty International) and traveling in different countries. Newspapers and magazines publish my photo features: MarieClaire, Corriere della Sera, Sette, Sunday Times, Libèration, Africa, Eastwest, Focus. In February 2017 I printed INCIPIT, my first book. In April I have been nominated Leica Ambassador. In 2018 I won an Award of Excellence at “POYi".
