An original and intense photographic portrait of contemporary Italy.
An original and intense photographic portrait of contemporary Italy. The ‘Atlante italiano’ project conceived by DARC periodically brings together several of the world’s best-known photographers; in this volume they are asked to capture the processes transforming the face of Italy.Worlds away from the stereotypes and clichés of that picture-perfect Italy found mostly on postcards, the photographs in Atlante 2007 reveal a country in rapid evolution: a contradictory vision, but one that is always emotionally charged, with images of the highest quality.Photographers for this edition include Massimo Berrutti, Andrea Botto, John Davies, David Farrel, Alex S. Maclean, Walter Niedermayr, Fabio Ponzio, Marialba Russo, Paul Seawright, Geroge Tadge, Fulvio Ventura, and Massimo Vitali.
The superb collection of photographs is accompanied by a critical apparatus as well as interviews with the photographers, biographies, and an annotated bibliography.
