The photographic series Il Giardino (The Garden) continues the visual journey begun with Radici (Roots), maintaining the focus on collecting, accumulating, and archiving moments of daily life. Photography here serves both as exploration and recreation, “for the pleasure, and for the necessity, of photographing.”
Like Radici, Il Giardino lacks a linear narrative. Instead, it offers a flow of images, emotions, and a refined dramaturgy. The story is told through the author’s eye, composition, and form, with occasional thematic content. While the language remains consistent with Radici, Il Giardino introduces new themes, such as the presence of daylight, births, blooms, summer, homes, and shifts in perspective. These images evoke the landscape of the Marche region.
Ultimately, Il Giardino, like Radici, takes on the form of an inner narrative, an analysis, and a catharsis—an ongoing exploration of the self, without a definitive solution. It is, at its core, simply a story.
The publication “Il Giardino”, edited by Witty Books & Studio X01 , with a novel by Violetta Bellocchio, will be presented at San Secondo on March 7 from 6.30/7 PM to 7.30/8 PM. The conversation with Fabrizio Albertini, Tommaso Parrillo, Violetta Bellocchio, and Federico Barbon will be moderated by Francesca Marani, Senior Photo Editor of Vogue Italia.
