Genoa – The migratory phenomenon read through the lens of Max Hirzel. On Friday 15 October the volume “Migrant bodies”By the Milanese photographer. A photographic book that wants to show, without discounts, the unspeakable pain of an endless tragedy. That of migrants, who by the thousands lose their lives in an attempt to reach Europe.
According to the International Organization for Migration, at least 1,146 people died between January and June of this year.
A massacre that, through Hirzel’s work, emerges in all its crudeness: “It was 2015 when the author began to document the management systems of the bodies of migrants who died in an attempt to reach Italy – reads the sheet of presentation of the work – Starting from the Sicilian cemeteries, to understand where and how these bodies are buried, how many have been given a name or what is missing, the long investigation process would have ended, a few years later, in a village del Saloum, Senegal. The fragments of which it is composed put us in front of the death of young migrants without escape, to the management of their bodies and to a mourning that is often impossible. To the collective perception of inevitable fatality and inevitable tragedy, this work opposes a meager vision of what revolves around these bodies to reveal reality for what it is: what the author defines “anomaly”, an aberration that we should not allow nor accept “.
They will be present to discuss with the author Valeria Taurino, General Manager of SOS Mediterranée Italy, Andrea Torre, Director of the Centro Studi Medì – Migrations in the Mediterranean, Grace Of Gold, Emuse publisher. Federico Montaldo moderates the meeting (36th frame).
