After Silencio and Vestiges d'empire, photographer Thomas Jorion continues in this opus his questioning of buildings and places in ruins, abandoned by men. He traveled Italy from North to South, from Piedmont to Sicily, via Veneto and Tuscany. He returned with surprising and timeless images of residences, villas, and palaces dating from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, and long since fallen into disgrace. This forgotten heritage surprises with the richness of its decorations barely altered by time: stuccos, bas-reliefs, paintings... Sometimes, the almost incongruous presence of a bed or an armchair reminds us that these spaces, often overgrown with vegetation, were once inhabited. Thomas Jorion captures these places in natural light, without retouching or staging. Striking images of an Italy frozen in time. With an introduction by Giovanni Fanelli, professor of architectural history at the University of Florence (Italy).
