The perfect primer on renowned Italian photographer Letizia
Battaglia.Born in Palermo, Letizia Battaglia (1935–2022) took up
journalism as a single mother, but discovered that it was easier to
sell articles if she could also supply photographs. She became a
news photographer for L’Ora, a Sicilian daily newspaper that took a
stand against the Mafia and its political and economic connections.
Between 1976 and 1991, she was a witness to some of the bloodiest
events in Italian history, including the killing of judges, police
officers and politicians. While these images brought her
international recognition, she strongly opposed the label of ‘Mafia
photographer’ and believed that her aim was to seek out life. She
built up a many-sided portrait of her Sicilian homeland, developing
a special sensitivity to women, girls and young children, and a
deep empathy with those living in poverty. Her work stands as proof
that both joy and suffering are part of the experience of being in
the world.
Geniálne premyslený a rozsiahly príbeh o neuveriteľnom svete plnom
drsnej krásy a mocných kúziel, ktorý kvári zrada, krutosť ho trhá
na kusy a pohlcuje ho ctibažnosť a nenásytnosť. Vykresľuje krajinu
ničenú vojnou, v ktorej sa šľachtici aj poddaní, hrdinovia aj
zloduchovia, slobodní aj podrobení snažia prežiť a naplniť svoj
osud.
