In recent years, especially in cities of major cultural value, we’ve witnessed an overwhelming influx of tourists, often to the detriment of local communities strained by unsustainable numbers.
With this project, I aim to gently portray the geometry of one of the most important areas not only of Rome, but of human civilization as a whole.
I Fori Imperiali contain within them a vast concentration of the history that shaped the foundations of modern society. Just as these spaces were once densely populated in ancient times, today—centuries later—on the same stones, I and thousands of others search for our own place in the world.
In each of these frames, I have included people, yet sought to render them nearly invisible in comparison to the grandeur surrounding them—subdued and diminished, so as not to disturb the silent, ongoing passage of history.
