Ludovica Limido is a documentary photographer whose work centres on countercultures and human connection, delving into the complexities of belonging.

The Doll Next Door explores the emotional connections between individuals and their synthetic companions, focusing on the growing global community of adult doll owners. Despite societal stigma, these relationships provide deep companionship and emotional support, often hidden from the outside world. This project delves into how these dots serve as confidants, companions and surrogate family members while also examining the emerging era of robot companionship and the redefinition of intimacy.
