ITALIAN JOURNEYS - Bernard Plossu
Bernard Plossu has been traveling throughout Italy for over forty years:
"It's a need, a passion; I feel good there. I go everywhere, on foot, by car, by train; from the mountains of Piedmont to Puglia; from Cuneo to Bari, from Turin to Palermo, from Bologna to Cagliari. Everything attracts me! Everywhere I go, I photograph landscapes, people, atmospheres, architecture, the present, the past, the future, poetry..." Bernard Plossu has selected more than 150 color photographs using the Fresson process and black and white photographs for this book, many of which have never been published before. Far from the usual clichés celebrating Italy's most famous landmarks, Bernard Plossu alternates between street scenes, deserted or bustling marinas, landscapes seen from a moving train, the majestic and serene landscapes of Lake Garda or the Maddalena Pass, and the wilder nature found particularly on the islands.
