European Photography: the exhibitions at the Cloisters of San Pietro

The heart of the festival are the Cloisters of San Pietro which will host nine exhibitions. The photographers Vittorio Mortarotti and Anush Hamzehian exhibit L'Isola , the result of the commission awarded last year by Fotografia Europea. Noémie Goudal presents Telluris , in which real and theoretical geographies coexist  , creating a space between physical reality and its mental representation.

With Aura David Jiménez plays with the limits of perception. Raymond Meeks , with the Halfstory Halflife project , created at the waterfalls of the Catskill Mountains in New York, investigates friendship and youth. Donovan Wylie with The Tower Series examines the mostly invisible architecture that weaves the presence of conflict into the fabric of everyday life.

Piergiorgio Casotti and Emanuele Brutti in the INDEX G project stage a kind of theatrical work of silence, made up of the absence of characters and their peculiar stories, in which the things seen and told remain unspoken and suspended in time. Lebohang Kganye presents Tell Tale and the new production In Search for Memory in which he faces contrasting stories told through a combination of memory and fantasy. Yasmina Benabderrahmane presents La Bete , a journey through the sand dunes and plains of her native Morocco, from which she tries to recover, through the visual language, what she has lost in fourteen years of absence.
