Grande Padre by Camilla De Maffei
at Fotografia Europea, Fotofestiwal Łódź
Location: Reggio Emilia, Łódź
Fonderia 20.9 provided extensive support in editing, printing, framing, and consulting for Grande Padre, ensuring the project’s successful exhibition at Fotografia Europea in Reggio Emilia and Fotofestiwal Łódź in Poland. Our team collaborated closely with Camilla De Maffei to refine the visual narrative, emphasizing critical aspects of the research and exhibition layout.
Grande Padre is a long-term project exploring the psychological and societal scars left by Albania’s authoritarian regime under Enver Hoxha. Through photography and text, De Maffei delves into the remnants of this history, examining the shifts in power, identity, and freedom faced by Albania. By capturing symbolic architectures, gestures, and landscapes, Grande Padre offers a poignant reflection on the complex dynamics between individuals, society, and power.
