Signed. Limited Edition. PAOLO PELLEGRIN - SEVLA - 2025

Rare. Limited edition of 100 (nr. 69 /100). Signed ! This is the photographic project Sevla, curated and presented by BDC – Bonanni Del Rio Catalog, by internationally acclaimed documentary photographer Paolo Pellegrin. The work centers on a small Roma community in the outskirts of Rome, composed of Sevla, Vejsil, Jordan, Carlos, Leon, Romeo, Romina, Angelina, Shelly, Erma and other family members of Bosnian origin. Pellegrin first met them in 2015, during a commission for the International Photography Festival in Rome, and over the years he returned frequently, building trust and intimacy. Through fifty iconic black‑and‑white photographs, Pellegrin captures everyday moments full of warmth, joy, and deep familial bonds: children playing, long family meals, summer rest, celebrations, and peaceful gatherings. The images are striking for their poetic balance of light and shadow, the dignity of subjects, and the naturalness of their lives, expressed without judgment but with profound respect. The book is new, in excellent condition, except for a slight waviness of some inner pages. Paolo Pellegrin, born in Rome in 1964, is one of the most powerful voices in contemporary documentary photography. He initially studied architecture, but his passion for storytelling led him to devote his life to photography. He became a full member of Magnum Photos in 2005. Pellegrin’s career is marked by global reportage and a deeply empathetic eye: he has documented war zones, humanitarian crises, and marginalized communities, bringing a rare combination of journalistic rigor and artistic sensitivity. His work has been widely recognized: he has won numerous major awards, including World Press Photo Awards, the Robert Capa Gold Medal, Leica honors, and the W. Eugene Smith Grant. With Sevla, Pellegrin reaffirms his commitment to telling human stories: not distant tragedies, but intimate, dignified moments of everyday life that reveal the strength, vulnerability, and unity of a marginalized community. His vision remains one of the most important in contemporary photographic art.
