Through August 31 JOEL TETTAMANTIEXHIBITION
Joël Tettamanti's photographs are a vastarchive of the structures, villages and citiesthat people create and inhabit, and thelandforms and climates that shape theirculture. Although his photographs are oftendevoid of people, the focus of his work is thehuman presence in the landscape and thepeople who are uplifted and sometimesdefeated by the land they inhabit. Thiscontradiction of human frailty and resilience,and the continuities people form with theland, are embedded in Tettamanti'sphotographic vision. The exhibition CompassPoints is on view until August 31
st, 2013.
