Peace is Weak, 2022

Digital photograph, 30” x 21.5”

The still reproduced above is from Antonioni’s film L’eclisse (1962). The image is of the back of a man’s head as he walks in a crosswalk while reading an Italian newspaper with the headline LA PACE È DEBOLE.

Placed below this is a photograph of the back of my head as I step into a crosswalk in Rome while reading a newspaper. The headline is translated into English. This photograph was taken 60 years after the film was made.
