With this series of panoramic black and white photographs taken in the Piedmont region, Josef Koudelka continues his reflection on the evolution of the landscape. From the shores of Lake Maggiore to the passes of the Alps, from agricultural valleys to the construction sites of Turin, from concrete structures to the remains of the past, although absent from the images, man has left his mark everywhere, transforming nature and brutally leaving his mark.
"Piedmont today is a marvellous and wounded land. Here are the wonders and the wounds. [Josef Koudelka does for the land what August Sander did for his Men of the Twentieth Century. If you look closely, his landscapes are portraits" (Giuseppe Culicchia).
