Paola De Pietri first learnt of World War I at school and from family members who recounted historical facts through
personal experiences – experiences that are in danger of being forgotten. In To Face De Pietri preserves these memories
in a series of photographs of the alps between Italy and Austria, a landscape that still bears the scars of trench
warfare from nearly a century ago. De Pietri’s subtle, unassuming images show a landscape once damaged by man is
now being reclaimed by nature.
