Vincenzo Pietropaolo in Retrospective
Jun 16 to Jul 2
De Luca Fine Art Gallery
In Vincenzo Pietropaolo's hands, photography becomes a kind of language and his books intermingle photographs and words with mutually reinforcing effect. In his various photographic series, Vincenzo's honest and poetic images move us, documenting instants of Italian immigrants' challenging everyday life (Not Paved With Gold); telling the little-known story of Canada's migrant workers (Harvest Pilgrims); and, more recently, capturing images and telling stories of an invisible minority whose members often live and die unacknowledged and unremembered (Invisible No More: A Photographic Chronicle of People with Intellectual Disabilities). This exhibition offers a comprehensive look at the many series produced
through the years.
