PADAN(I)A SUPERIORE

“Padan(I)a Superiore” is a visual survey of the territory along the former SS11 Padana Superiore road, that links Turin to Venice, across Northern Italy. An analysis of the urban space, its margins, the environment and places where people live and move. And on the road project that wants to be a sort of mapping of a part of Northern Italy that seems to live in a limbo, between the memory of an industrial past and a future full of uncertainties. A visual story on the complex relationship between landscape and human presence, on the inevitable changes in the geography and identity of these places. A somehow both sad and ironic vision of the northern Italian province, on its marginsm, its contradictions and suspension in time. A journey started in 2016 and not yet completed.
