Urban Exploration and Art Photography
“ There are more photographs than bricks , ” wrote Peter Turner in the introduction to his History of Photography (1990). Although it is true that every attempt to historicize photography is bound to be incomplete, every snapshot that a photographer creates, in telling his story, is a brick that builds the house of his gaze.

Elisabetta Riccio retraces the geographies of her wandering through the abandoned cracks of an industrial city, Turin, and the wide horizons of her American explorations.

In the reportage “ID_ENTITY, the Fragmentation of a Moment” Elisabetta Riccio explores the archeology of abandoned industrial areas in search of a new identity, showing the naked skeleton of a city in transformation: Turin. In 2011 the documentary project received a special award from the Dante Alighieri Foundation in Berlin, where it is still exhibited today.

RES.TI.TU.ZIO.NE ( Restitution ) is a photographic series in Urbex style. A look at the mutability of the architecture of those urban areas that have been experienced by man and then abandoned: frames of dilapidated buildings, old abandoned factories, glimpses of iron and concrete recaptured by nature.
