Quotes
"The project, born from the desire to explore the relationship between images and memory and the transitory nature of human existence, is a photographic census of the inhabitants who “resist” in the emptying small villages of my mountains and, at the same time, a personal and silent crossing of the landscape, an homage to mountains, a meditation on the slow social and cultural mutation of the territory.
Faces disappear, images get blurred, stories handed down by word of mouth often to become legends. My tribute to the mountain is a tribute to (its) silence.
The absence of words, this is the nature of the relationship I have with the mountains."
Piergiorgio Casotti
Publisher Note
ANAMORPHOSIS PRIZE 2017 SHORTLIST
Piergiorgio Casotti was born in a small town in northern Italy. He describes his relationship with the mountains as "the absence of words… an absence that leaves us untouched by sound-interference and the 'white-noise' of human society." In this self-published photobook, Casotti pays tribute to the silence of the mountains with a series of images of ski villages and their surroundings, abandoned during the warm season. While a few patches of dirty snow still cling to the slopes, the parking areas and roads are empty, the condos devoid of life, the seasonal incessant motion paused until the snow comes again. The harsh elements that eternally shape the mountain likewise seem dormant.
With essays by Mario Vighi and Silvano Scaruffi.
