A look from outside: foreign photographers in Palermo between the 19th and 20th centuries
At the beginning of the 19th century, the representation of Italy was mostly due to the literary and artistic narrative of foreign travellers. The resulting image influenced the vision Italians had of their own country and carried weight with the awareness of their national identity. Sicily stood outside the traditional itinerary of the Grand Tour for a long time and only became an essential stop after the publication of Goethe and Vivant Denon’s travel journals in the 1780s.

With the introduction of photography in mid-19th century, the role of natur…

Depicting life, analysing the power: The ‘actuality’ of Italian cinema
2014
The increasing production of biographical films dealing with power and its figures raises interesting questions about the nature and the aims of political cinema.

City Slivers: rottura e manipolazione dello spazio urbano in Matta-Clarck
2014
City Slivers (1976) by Gordon Matta-Clarck is an experimental film created by attaching black strips to the camera lens in order to cut and maniplulate de visible space of Manhattan's urban landscape. This essay discusses the traits of continuity that link the film to Matta-Clarck's previous actions of dissecting architecture (building cuts). In addiction it argues how the use the film medium renders City Slivers an action that both destabilizes and formalizes, providing extraordinary potential for the disclosure and transformation of urban space.
