Zizola has captured conflicts, revolutions, catastrophes, and each time, a fragment of himself merged with the world.
Hence the need to reopen a monumental archive, to delve into the visual grammar of “conflict,” where “conflict” refers not only to war, but also to disaster, negative change, and consequence.
Man against man is not always played out with a weapon in hand and a fierce look in the eyes. It is not only a bullet. It is also capitalism, neglect, ambition. Environmental crisis, epidemic. Or social unrest.
When reality cracked, worn out by itself and on the brink of implosion, Francesco was there, with his camera in hand.
Diaries is a testament to those moments. Words and images. Chasing one another, without geographical or temporal boundaries. It accompanies an emotional flow, showing us how when the world turns grey and humanity drowns, socio-cultural differences fade and the memory of places and years dissolves.
Only fragments remain, blending into one another.
Diaries seeks to be an invitation to reflection.
To the awareness that history, in its guilt, always remains the same.
