Here as elsewhere

It is enough to probe in a small area to get a story that knows how to talk about a global problem. The pandemic as a phenomenon has marked a chronology of events, an unpredictable evolution and alternating dramatic or reassuring phases that have characterized distant people and communities alike. The headlines of the international news are likely to those of the local newspapers. The great unawareness and fear at the beginning of the pandemic and then science and beliefs. And again the pain, loneliness, anguish and even death.

We will know the lockdown, the domestic prisons with their rituals, the suffocating feeling of not being able to get out of it, the trust in research and vaccines. Who, and in what place has not been crossed by all this?

Some excavations carried out have brought (extracted) profoundly human material to the surface to be delivered to the unpredictable book of life.

Trying to provide a backward reading of this journey, the selected images immortalize different moments of the relationship between people and what happened, in a small Italian region, Umbria. Here as elsewhere.
