I am very excited to be back working with Adriano Zanni, a great friend and one of my favourite photographer and musicians.
Soon I will release “Sequenze di Fabbrica”, a photobook on the petro-chemical plant ANIC in Ravenna.
Context:
In 1964 Michelangelo Antonioni shot his first color film “Il Deserto Rosso” (Leone d’Oro at Venice Film Festival) inside and around the huge assembly of petro-chemical factories in the outskirts of Ravenna, known at that time as ANIC.
Adriano Zanni was born in 1964 in Ravenna. In the last 30 years he has lived, worked, walked those same places, documenting visually and sonically the cumbersome presence of those seemingly alien structures which surround the city and border with the Adriatic Sea.
Huge pipes, vapours, concrete and steel, ships carving through the land to feed the voracious plant. “Sequenze di Fabbrica” is an observation from inside of all this.
No humans appear in this pictures, as if the plant is an entity in itself, a testimony of the efforts of its creators.
