Michele Buda - Sul Confine

In 2021 the municipality of Cotignola and the Luigi Varoli Civic Museum hosted photographer Michele Buda as an artist-in-residence. This publication presents the images which emerged, born from a long exploration of this Italian territory and its landscape. We witness an almost exotic geography, a portrayal of a living environment made up of simple and essential things like houses, farm buildings, trees and plants, cracks in the pavement, a furrowed field, weathered stucco, utility poles, and fallen apples on the ground. All of these things can be seen as traces of the past and transformations of the present, deposits of the many landscapes that coexist here, on the border.
