The project attempts to capture Italy facing social and economic changes.
It captures discrepancy between Italian postcard-ready landscape with looking at the country being in the front of migration crisis. The project is captured in “passing by” and plays with idea of “passeggiata”- habit of seeing and being seen.
The work forgets the rules “how to” capture Italian landscape saturated in history. The works were taken on the film, are presented as captured. Colours intend to dialogue with colour Italian film photography of 70s and glide on the edge of tribute to Luigi Ghirri – photographer, whose work brought me to do residency in Italy in first place.
The project was possible with help of: Deirdre McKenna, Cheryl Connell, the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh, Fondazione Fotografia in Modena, Arrigo Ghi, Scottish Hope Trust and LD. To whom, I am grateful .
The images were taken in Modena, Reggio Emilia, Bologna and Rome.
