Sixty-six black and white pictures showing the architecture of Italy but also the artefacts of every kind that man leaves behind him. The relationship between nature and man gives way to a single protagonist, man, and his interventions on the territory, with all their social, industrial and religious meanings. Whether rigorous Roman buildings or anonymous blocks of flats in the urban outskirts, imposing Renaissance churches or desolate disused factories, Tatge sees above all a trace, a deep and sometimes hidden imprint on the urban landscape: fragments of reality, bizarre and surreal juxtapositions open to the viewer’s interpretation.
