The soul of a community. The lives of the shepherd, the newsagent, the mechanic, the bartender, the craftsman, the doctor . Of those who live the fleeting moments of the life of a country that wants to counter depopulation, a diaspora that steals precious energies. The snapshots that enrich the photographic exhibition by Gigi Murru "People of Suni" from 19 August in the town of Planargia : ten large-format prints (70 by 100 cm) in three distinct public spaces (Piazza del Mercato, Social Center and library - playroom municipal) and another twenty-three of normal size set up on the first floor of the playroom in via Sindia.
A way to show the secret heart: identity, professions, experiences, stories. The opportunity to dialogue with the external world through photographic art which is a source of knowledge and tells hidden aspects.
"Photographing a community - says Gigi Murru - is always a process that aims to simplify its complexity through the portraits of some of its members, people who make themselves available to be visual representatives of their fellow villagers, lending their own figure, opening the doors of own shops and laboratories, showing us the beauties and riches of the Sunese territory, from archeology to murals, from architecture to the countryside. "The instant that becomes narration and the future." Photographs can reach eternity through the moment ', according to Henri Cartier Bresson. The sense of the photographic story proposed to Suni. "The exhibition fully expresses an act of true social cohesion. Even the choice of the spaces in which the shots find permanent residence are not casual but places proper to the aggregation , of interaction and relationship ", clarifies the mayor Massimo Falchi . A path to strengthen the web of relationships within d community and to acquire greater awareness in the relationship with other worlds. An exhibition to get to know Suni and the true soul of its inhabitants.
