In ‘Italia O Italia’, Federico Clavarino constructs a fictional Italy from photographs taken across the peninsula. The images in the book show the remains of the country’s monumental past weighing on the contemporary landscape, signalling inertia and inability to move on from a glorious past.
“I was born and raised in Italy but always felt like a stranger there. It was only once I moved abroad in my early twenties that I really started looking at the place, as I tried to decipher why everything felt so familiar and yet so strange to me. It was then that I resolved to travel through all of the country and draw the opposite of a map: a labyrinth made of slivers of its territory, a book one could walk through and get lost in, another Italy shadowing the one we know.” — Federico Clavarino
‘Italia O Italia’ was first published in 2014 (Akina Books). Void now presents this redesigned 10th Anniversary second edition, featuring a subtle new sequence and a few previously unseen photographs.
