Zeddiani, more than twenty images tell the intimacy of the relationship between parents and children in the shadow of a "monster" called Alzheimer's

More than twenty photographs that tell the intimacy of the relationship between parents and children, in the shadow of a "monster" called Alzheimer's which affects 47 million people around the world, one case every 3 seconds. Hard images without any discount.

The Municipality of Zeddiani will host, from April 13th at 6pm to the 26th, a photographic project created by Giusi Scanu, designed to show the disease in its daily life entitled "Alzheimer: who am I?". The exhibition will be hosted in the premises of the municipal library and can be visited during opening hours to the public.

«A monster with a devious face that steals your skin, soul and body - says the photographer - A monster that slowly took away my father and my mother. Thanks to the camera I was able to get closer to my parents in a different way, entering into their intimacy as I never wanted to do. To exorcise the pain, here was the decision, at the beginning of 2014, to create this photographic project: 23 photos, each of which is accompanied by a reflection written by us children to give voice to their thoughts and the emotions they arouse. The last photo, deliberately in color - continues the photographer - represents hope, the idea that, despite pain and suffering, they are always united, held in one embrace and is followed by a verse taken from the song “Bella d'estate” by Pino Mango, a singer-songwriter very dear to my mother».
