Photo Exhibition: Letizia Battaglia – Sono Io
2023-04-29 – 2023-11-01 · Italy
Letizia Battaglia today has taken on a fundamental significance in the history of international photography. In “Une histoire mondiale des femmes photographes,” by Luce Lebart and Marie Robert, Laetitia Guillemin recalls Letizia Battaglia especially during the years of her collaboration with the Palermo daily L’Ora, during the bloody war of the Mafia in the 1970s and 1980s. Sono io is not a statement Letizia Battaglia would have ever said. We do so, extrapolating it from a sentence of hers much more articulate phrase that appeared in an interview a few years ago. With this exhibition we maintain the tradition of breaking schemes, erasing themes, ignoring chronologies, and constructing a polyphonic work, as representative as possible, offering a unified vision of a body of work that has lasted almost five decades. Photography and everyday life come together in a single path that highlights the extraordinary visual sensitivity, and the courage to be at the distance of a punch or a caress to conquer the image, often achieved in extreme contexts but always full of dignity. Photography reached Letizia Battaglia thanks to a series of fortuitous elements and becomes an important tool for her emancipation as a woman and mother.
