Alma’s sunday reading!
“La fotografia come strumento per attraversare il tempo, per interrogare ciò che permane e riflettere sul ruolo della memoria nella costruzione della nostra percezione della realtà.”
Un estratto dall’articolo di Corrado Benigni dedicato a The Yokohama Project, pubblicato ieri su LA STAMPA – TUTTOLIBRI (p. XIX) @sforzalast @la_stampa
Grazie a @corradobenigni per questa lettura attenta del lavoro.
“Photography as a way of travelling through time: a means of questioning what endures and reflecting on the role of memory in shaping our perception of reality.”
An excerpt from Corrado Benigni’s article on The Yokohama Project, published in LA STAMPA – TUTTO LIBRI (p. XIX).
Thank you, @corradobenigni for this thoughtful reading of the work.

Two weeks ago, Rome brought together several threads of my photographic life. The main reason for the trip was the opening of the @collezionedonatapizzi Collection, where my work now hangs alongside that of so many remarkable Italian women photographers. Donata has followed and supported my work over the years, so being there to celebrate this new chapter of her collection felt particularly special.
The visit to Rome was also the perfect excuse to gather some of my Kickstarter Book ( published by @gost_books ) backers at @rita.mannella ‘s house and finally get The Yokohama Project off the page and into their hands.
Then Rome transformer into a journey through friends and art:the Terme di Caracalla to see @frankhorvatstudio , Sophie Calle @adansophiecalle in Testaccio, dyanita singh @dayanitasingh at villa giulia, walking around and jogging along the river — a little bit of work, a lot of looking, and lovely encounters in between.

And again, in The Guardian! this time in their photography gallery!
Take a stroll through The Yokohama Project, featured once more in The Guardian, this time in their photography gallery, Japan in Pictures.
It’s special to see this work continue to travel and find new eyes, years after I first began the journey.
Thank you @guardian and @omfgnoway for featuring it again.

While rummaging through boxes in her family home in Italy, Giada Ripa found an album of 53 hand-coloured photographs by the first visual narrator of Japan, Felice Beato, capturing 1860s Japanese local society. A few months later, she found an unpublished manuscript by her old relative and muse to many intellectuals, Mathilde Ruinart, who lived in Japan at the same time and befriended Beato. Inspired by their work, Ripa embarked on a journey to retrace their footsteps, weaving their historic perspectives with her own style of photography.

Beyond thrilled to see my work featured today in The Guardian’s Culture section, in the My Best Shot series!
A big thank you to Charlotte Jansen for such a thoughtful and engaging conversation about the image and the story behind it.

"Ten years ago, my dad called to say he had found these amazing images hidden under piles of maps and stuff in an attic in our family home in Piemonte, northern Italy. He had come across a leather-bound album of 53 black and white photographs: portraits of Japanese “native types”, reflecting the 19th-century colonial way of representing people, cultures and views of Japan. It turned out we had a treasure in our hands: it was an album of photographs by Felice Beato, the first foreign photographer to arrive in Japan in 1863 at the end of the Edo period and on the eve of the Meiji era" - Giada Ripa
Giada Ripa spoke to The Guardian’s Charlotte Jansen about 'The Yokohama Project'.

The first copies of The Yokohama Project, published by GOST Books, are finally making their way into the hands of those who have supported the project from the beginning.
A small gathering in Milan brought together some of the collectors and Kickstarter supporters who came to pick up their copies — a very special moment for me after so many years of work on this book.
To everyone who was there: thank you for coming, for believing in the project, and for sharing this moment with me.
And to all the others, scattered around the world: your books are now being prepared and shipped.
Next stop: Paris Photo, where I’ll be signing The Yokohama Project with GOST Books in November.
And more presentations and gatherings will follow, including CAMERA in Torino in collaboration with MAO, BOP in Bristol, New York and beyond.
More soon. Stay tuned.

For the second year in a row, I somehow found myself in the middle of an unexpected Polaroid session in Arles @rencontresarles .
Last year, it was a beautifully orchestrated production with artist @carsten.holler, @polaroid_foundation, and a film crew.( 📷 last color polaroid)
This year, it happened around a lunch table, among old and new friends, with writer Vittorio Buongiorno @vtrbng casually playing with his instant camera. ( 📷 first black & white polaroid)
I wonder what next year’s version will look like.

Part I -
Arles has always felt like a place where photography becomes a conversation.
This year’s Rencontres d’Arles was no exception: inspiring exhibitions, unforgettable Théâtre Antique night projections, long conversations, unexpected encounters, and the chance to reconnect with old friends while discovering new perspectives, opportunities, and connections within the photographic community.
It was also a very special moment to see my book The Yokohama Project presented in Arles for the first time. A heartfelt thank you to @gost_books for the patience, care, and dedication behind this publication, and to Claudia for bringing the books to Arles and sharing them with the audience there.
Grateful to the ICP community and alumni , Chloé, David Campany, Bob, and Jeffrey , for their constant support and for continuing to nurture the connections among ICP alumni.
Thank you also to @maryameisler for her generosity, for helping us discover hidden corners of Arles and beyond , and and for introducing me to such a wonderful group of people connected through photography.
A big 🙏also toFrancesca @icollectphotography , for sharing this Arles journey — the conversations, discoveries, and adventures — and for being a great partner in crime throughout the week.
Other new and pleasant encounters encounters… @jeanbaptistehuynh , Pancho, @carlosidun, @carolallenstorey , @riverboom_theroadmovie
and discoveries at the Theatre Antique @pablosaavedradedecker @mingsmithphoto
Finally, thank you to everyone I met in Arles — old friends, new friends, and unexpected encounters — for the conversations, ideas, and inspiration.
Until next time, Arles.
