ALBA


Residency curated by José Pedro Cortes during the Master in Photography (IUAV - University of Venice) program.

The work Alba (Dawn) was born during the workshop A future ruin held by José Pedro Cortes in the archeological park of Selinunte, Sicily. It’s a journey across the night, on board with the local fishermen who make a living at sea, beneath the cliffs of Selinunte, where the ruins of the great agorà lay.

“Although a photograph is the result of a series of decisions, the visual experience of it doesn’t come in words, we cannot explain it: it’s personal and abstract, like a future ruin.” - José Pedro Cortes
