Famous for his photographic portraits of everyday people, printed and glued to the walls of numerous cities around the world, JR reinterprets the identity of contemporary cities as he wonders about their nature and identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omelia Contadina, Dario Sforza, Sepoltura, Castel Giorgio, Italie, 2019 <\/em>comes from Omelia Contadina<\/em>, a short film made by JR together with the filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher. Premiering among the Proiezioni Speciali<\/em> (Special Projections) of the 77th International Film Festival<\/em> in Venice (2020), it seeks to prevent the disappearance of peasant civilization (in particular, that of the Alfina highlands between Lazio and Tuscany, violated by the intensive monocropping and the hosts of insects that such systems product), staging its \u2018funeral.\u2019 At the same time, however, it is an ode to hope devoted to all those who keep humanity alive by producing food. JR produces huge prints corresponding to the portraits of the farmers who day in, day out fight to defend their crops and their territories. Through a collective rite, he places those portraits in the fields the same way the deceased are welcomed by cemeteries, and seeds are planted in the ground to generate a new life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":455,"template":"","categorie_opere":[],"curatela":[33],"class_list":["post-1056","opere","type-opere","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","curatela-clarice-pecori-gilardi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
