Publisher's Description
From the West to the East, through the biggest
capitals of the world, Alessandro Rizzi’s color
reportage observes individuals dwarfed both by
immense architecture and by the immensity of
their cities themselves, regarding his individual
subjects as keys to the meaning of the modernity
that surrounds them. Rizzi, who was born in Italy in
1973, has traveled extensively between Mexico,
Romania, Turkey, Lebanon and the former Soviet
Union. In 1999 he began a project on social
changes in the Balkans 10 years after the fall of the
Berlin Wall. More recently he has worked in China
and between Israel and the West Bank. In 2002, a
3M prize named him the best Italian photographer
under 30.
