Every new day. The aspect of
contemporary Georgia is a photographic book that
represents the Georgian reality during this very delicate shift from the Soviet
past to a future that possibly looks towards the Occidental world.
“I had been in Georgia for 70 days
and I had the chance to visit almost every corner of the country, from Svaneti
mountains, to the maritime city of
Batumi, till the border with Azerbaijan. These 70 days had been very
intense and let me get close to Georgians and their culture in a profound and
sincere way” says the photographer, who developed this project in collaboration
with the charity Caritas Georgia and the European Cultural Foundation.
Along with the photographs,
the book is completed with abstracts of interviews and descriptive captions.
Thanks to this structure the viewer receives a social portrait of great
humanity thanks to an intimate approach that is very close to the people that
tell their story.
Every new day. The aspect of contemporary
Georgia is going to be part of Padova
Photography Festival with an exhibition from 9th to 22nd
March and the presentation of the book on 18th March. More info on
the website of the Festival.
