"The world is our home. It is also the home of many, many other children, some of whom live in faraway lands. They are our world brothers and sisters..." - Let us now praise Famous Men: The American classic, in words and photographs, of three tenant families in the Deep South by James Agee and Walker Evans.
This series of photographs of the European peasantry territory represents distant visions of the countryside captured from trains travelling from Italy to the Netherlands. Seen as a physical place on which to live in, and as an immaterial dimension to be perceived through the senses, the countryside becomes for me both a private and a shared territory, where man can find himself in close contact with nature and recognize his peers.
