Il giardino
The project of Alessandro Imbriaco, the fifth Italian to receive an award in the nineteen editions of the European Publishers Award for Photography, comes from a series on which the photographer has worked for several years studying the temporary living situations of immigrants, and in general of the poor, in the margins of the Italian cities.
During his exploration, Imbriaco met a six-year-old girl, born and raised in the swamp of the river Aniene, who lived with her parents under a busy overpass in the outskirts of Rome.
Il giardino describes this story, it gives a face to hidden lives that seem to recall, at the borders of the city, the life of the First Family, that of Adam and Eve after the expulsion from Paradise.
In the spaces photographed by Imbriaco there are conditions of extreme hardship and a proximity and a communion with nature that is exceptionally distant to the ordinary experience of the city.
The exhibition dedicated to Il giardino, which will run until December 8th, will be the occasion to present also the book of the same name, published in Italy by Peliti Associati and published simultaneously in Spain, Germany, France and the UK, as done for each winning project of the important international award.
