Latest Photobook

Pieter Hugo, Messina Musina — 120 pp.;46 foto a colori; copertina rigida 31×29 cm; Eng.; 2007

Nelle sue foto di persone, famiglie, interni, paesaggi e dettagli accidentali, Pieter Hugo porta avanti una riflessione sulla persistenza di ferite e cicatrici che hanno a che fare con razza, classe e identità nazionale, qui, al confine con lo Zimbabwe, un Paese in fase di autodistruzione.

Quella di Messina si può anche considerare come una situazione che riflette ampiamente le circostanze di qualsiasi comunità che si trova ad affrontare dei cambiamenti.
