Francesco Taurisano
My project is aimed to explore the places that shifted radically during the boom, representing the “new landscape” that Maria Antonella Pelizzari described as “apparently removed and forgotten” (Pelizzari, 2013: 11).
As Arturo Carlo Quintavalle suggested in the preface wrote for Viaggio in Italia (1984), a number of authors and analyst as well as photographers and writers began to question if the countryside still exist but also how ambiguous its representation has become (Quintavalle, 1983: 14). It’s a matter of brining the everyday and banal to our attention, of refocusing our gaze on the non-places that we overlook. These liminal places have been gradually excluded and ignored from our daily life and disassociated from our existence in highly urbanized cities. francescotaurisano.com
