lligams, by Gianpaolo Arena, with Gianpaolo Arena, Federico Barbon and Nicolas Martino, published by Quodlibet

The family, the primary nucleus of the structure of society, is a realistic expression of the social changes under way. The word lligams – bonds of endearment, love – refers to the ties that keep people together. If the national laws prove to be short-sighted before social transformations, photography genuinely reflects rituals and mechanisms. In these portraits of the families of a new generation, what emerges is the multifaceted nature of its transformation.
