Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, Paola Agosti traveled to Argentina to document Italian emigration and Piedmontese emigration in particular. In 2011 these materials came together in the book El Paraiso: entrada provisoria. From this series there are 6 images in the collection that testify to Agosti’s attachment to the people of her Piedmont, to feel a migrant as them. A journey that the author herself defines as sentimental, in search of physiognomies, attitudes and family profiles.
Paola Agosti Argentina
Going beyond the anthropological approach, Paola Agosti documents with participation and sensitivity the conditions of extreme poverty of the slum dwellers of Abruzzo, who in 1970, more than ten years after the earthquake of 1958, were still living in temporary housing. Elderly women and children are left to look after the few poor things that have survived.
In the collection there are 4 photographs belonging to this series.
