"Another Time, Another Place"

"Another Time, Another Place" is a 1983 film by director Michael Radford. It tells the fictional story of three Italian soldiers who are taken prisoner by the British during World War II and sent to Scotland to work in the potato fields. They are practically free but without freedom and besides, if they escaped, where could they go? Sometimes photographic projects take shape by being born on the thrust of sensations related to the moment we are living or, in certain circumstances, undergoing passively them. I wanted to give this series of photographs the same title as the film because even today, in a certain sense, we are going through a moment in which we are free but without freedom, linked as we are in search of a solution to a global health emergency. In conceiving the photographic project, my intent was to convey to those who would look at the photographs the sensation of a rarefied, suspended, deserted world, the "Another time" in the title. I "used" the place where I currently live, Malcesine, a country with a purely tourist vocation, portraying it completely away from that postcard image that is normally advertised, the "Another Place" in the film.
