At the end of March until the beginning of April I will continue working on my series ‘Third Nature’ in the Italian Dolomites. As part of the CALAMITA/À project, I began to work on ‘Third Nature’ in 2015 by the invitation of Gianpaolo Arena and Marina Caneve. I continued in 2016 and 2017 and to date ‘Third Nature’ comprises over 150 photographs and reproductions. The topic of the man-made disaster in Vajont in 1963 stands as a representative of flawed decisions that are repeated to this day. 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Vajont disaster. Memory fades, people forgive, the changed geography around the disaster area is integrated by nature and becomes invisible. And yet: only memory, the confrontation with the past, can be an orientation for today, the here and now. I am seeking to find out what role photography can play in this. It is worth exploring this with another visit to Vajont.
