Documenting silent realities
The village of Bravo is situated on the slope of a mountain with 800 meters of altitude. In recent years, the number of inhabitants has decreased substantially (in 2011 there were just over 100 residents), which led to the closure of the school due to a lack of students and an accelerated decline in economic activity.
During May 2022, I was in the village of Bravo documenting (photography and video) the routines of its inhabitants, mainly women who still work in agriculture and take care of their elders.
Silent realities as also silenced realities.
“Mute” is the name of this project and it will be public in 2023 with an exibition.
