Description
VETEM – Nel nido delle aquile
VETEM is a seven-year journey between the mountains of northern Albania and the city of Shkodra. A series of encounters that led me to live in the woods, immersed in the peasant culture, its ancestral customs, and in the nearby city where mountain dwellers have descended to populate its suburbs. Among the northern valleys I was able to embrace hospitality and live in contact with simple, humble men with solid identities, the last survivors of a now rare way of life. In quirky Scutari I immortalized the difficulties of internal migration, the hardship, the hardships of the suffering suburbs. This book combines an extensive series of shots with a true novel, a biographical account that delves into the theme of vagrancy. VETEM aims to take you into a dreamlike, surreal world, into a timeless Albania.
