FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2025

FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2025

The Biblioteca Panizzi, an Italian national library, is based in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Two years ago, I made a donation of over 100 daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and ferrotypes to supplement their holdings. One year later, after this material had been catalogued, scanned and conserved, I made a second offer, which was also accepted. My “Post Mortem Collection” consists of daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and paper images of corpses, mourners, chapels, churchyards and graves.

I am very pleased to announce that the material will be on show at the Biblioteca Panizzi in two separate exhibitions as part of Fotografia Europa 2025. I’ll be talking about the post mortem collection, and the brief guide-catalogue of the collection, which is entitled “Ricordati di me” (Remember me) in Reggio Emilia on 26th April.
