Italia O Italia

Le livre

The highly symbolic photographic language of Federico Clavarino’s ‘Italia O Italia’ weaves an intriguing narrative. It is the story of a complex nation whose ancient ruins cast shadows on the shards of a shattered present. The book’s images were scanned from the original chromogenic prints and then printed in the darkroom by the photographer himself. Born in Turin in 1984, Clavarino studied narration techniques at Alessandro Baricco’s Scuola Holden. In 2007 he moved to Madrid, where he currently lives and works as a teacher of photography at BlankPaper Escuela. This is his third photobook.
