Alessandra Chilà

Calabria

The representation of the Italian 'South' since the Risorgimento (or unification) as backward and primitive provided a useful pretext for its subjugation, one that has been maintained since then and projected back onto its entire history. Rather than perpetuating this stereotypical framing, the permanently unfinished building sites and abandoned factories of Calabria become a means of meditating upon the history of brutal interruptions they are a part of, and the forms of stasis in which both people and place remain caught. Interspersing topographical documentation and constructed situations, these images frame a continuous dialogue on representation and its consequences: an incessant mirroring between subject and landscape, stasis and potentiality, containment and migration.
