Signed; Paola De Pietri - To face - 2012

Paola De Pietri learned about the First World War at school and from her family members, who shared historical facts through personal experiences—experiences that risk being lost. In To Face, De Pietri preserves these memories in a series of photographs of the Alps between Italy and Austria, a landscape still bearing the marks of trench warfare from nearly a century ago. De Pietri's subtle and unpretentious images depict a landscape once damaged by man and now reclaimed by nature. Born in Reggio Emilia in 1960, Paola De Pietri is a prominent figure in Italian photography. She has exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the International Photography Biennale in Turin, among other institutions. In 2000, De Pietri's work was included in the exhibition “New Italian Landscape” at the Fondation Electra in Paris.
