Thanks to the rediscovery of the photos taken in 1957 by the young Cancian in that rural village where he had arrived almost by chance, the story resumes there where it was interrupted 60 years earlier. And the thread of memories ties back to people and places, bringing with itself some essential reflections on how photography can become an ethnographic look at small communities.

Her(it)

"Her was shot as my contribution to a collective film of the Italian Film-makers' Cooperative, "Tutto, tutto nello stesso istante", which started out as a Dadaist protest against police brutality. I used a "Newsweek" cutting about the Chicago Convention riots, about a woman being beaten up, and isolated in every line a symbolic word, which returns in the second part with an extension of its original meaning. I remember showing it with an 8mm projector at the USIS Rome Library in winter 1970 as part of a concert of American music." Massimo Bacigalupo
