Artworks / Il mondo che non vedo 01

Parisi’s point of view is the one of a twentieth century nostalgic who wants to regain the identity of those anthropological places which are now empty, lost, deprived of the people who once lived them, whose lives are hidden in the heaps of neglected rubble, the piles of debris, the stratifications of mould and dust deposits.
In Parisi’s photographic work, social and economical lives coexist, witnessing the decline of certain rituals,
habits, traditions of an era, that of the twentieth century. Family-run factories, noble villas, district cinemas,
provincial theaters, historic churches are slowly fading away, post-war Italy is inevitably changing and being replaced by the so called "no man land", as acclaimed by Marc Augè.
