NOUVEAU VENU, QUI CHERCHES ROME EN ROME

Nouveau venu, qui cherches Rome en Rome is the first of a series of publications created in collaboration with pianobi, Rome. The poster/leaflet, co-edited with purpose éditions, presents a photographic work centered on the city of Rome initiated by Gilles Raynaldy in 2020 and still ongoing, through a first selection of contact sheets from the artist’s archive. Departing from Porta Maggiore and cycling through the Eastern part of town, the artist stopped and lingered in certain transit points with his camera obscura, opening a shutter to the long observation of the landscape. The capturing device imposes a series of limitations adopted by Raynaldy to gain time, that is, the necessary time for the City to make itself present.
