River mouthSASHA ARUTYUNOVADuring the Nature artist residency, organized by OMNE and Transitions, Sasha Arutyunova paused to observe, in the eastern areas of Puglia, the slow movement of life in coastal places. “The photographs in the River Mouth series, made between 2021 and 2022, look at the coastal areas of Salento, the southernmost region of the Italian peninsula. Using nature as a thematic guide, the images focus on a landscape teeming with life in quiet structural abandon. While the historic city center of Lecce receives most of the government attention, life on the coast functions at its own pace, and nature slowly regains control of the marshy terrain. Locals, in moments of summer leisure, become transient participants, in constant conversation with the bucolic drama of the land.” (S.A.) Project realized in collaboration with Transitions as part of the artist residency “OMNE/NATURE,” Lecce Sept. 13-20, 2021, published in the volume True Places Never Are (Manni editori, Lecce 2022) and exhibited during OMNEFEST 2023 (Villa Parco Bolasco – University of Padua, Sept. 22-Oct. 29) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
