Federico Clavarino: Italia O Italia

About The Book

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 an inertia and inability to move on from a glorious past.

This new edition retains elements of the minimalist design of the original book to allow the images and sequencing to remain at the fore. There are seven previously unpublished images and slight changes in sequencing. Publisher’s Info
