Opera Città.
Photographs by Tod Papageorge.
Punctum Press.

Upon invitation of Marco Delogu within the “Commissione di Roma 2010”, Todd Papageorge runs himself into this project about Rome crossing the street photography and the tradition of North-American photography. Delogu imagined it all as a series of “topographic” shots of Rome which Papageorge would have filled with life. But as often happens in art, creativity of Todd bypassed the initial idea to begin a sort of flanerie in Rome: a few details, a lot of gestures but never spectacular, and a city that often is not immediately recognizable and never the people watching in the camera.

Purchase Opera Città.
