The work re-Africa is a project that is so original and intelligent, one of the most visible aspects of the phenomenon of immigration in Italy today. Matter of great interest, now at the center of social and political debate, but often treated in a dramatic or abstract, then reducing people to numbers and statistics.
With sensitivity and with an apparently simple procedure, Claudia Romiti, confronts us with a reality that often look without really seeing, thus reducing the cross street vendors every day, in a sort of representative figures, devoid of its own identity.
Referring to the history of photography in the tradition of the portrait studio and laid, still present in Africa, the author uses the landscape as a backdrop before which the characters happen.
Device extremely effective and necessary to force us to view the photographed subjects. At the same time his characters, Claudia Romiti tells the present and at the same time makes them emerge from re-applying to each of their identity.
