This exhibition marks Italian photographer Francesco Neri’s London debut and the first presentation of a body of work made over the last two years in the tiny hamlet of Boncellino near to his home town of Faenza in the northern region of Emilia Romagna, writes Kate Bush in the accompanying text.
Like many photographers who focus on what is closest to them, the project is in one sense also an evolving self-portrait. Neri returns to photograph people – and the buildings they have made – again and again. As the work grows, the photographer and his subjects age together, and the photographic project itself becomes a record of the passage of time.
