Album

For this new project, the Italian photographer Nicola Nunziata returned to his personal research topics about the materiality of photographs and the photographic objecthood. During a residency fellowship from 2017 to 2018 at the ICCD in Rome, one of the largest public institutes for photography conservation in Italy, he focused on 20th-century photographic albums, categorising the archive in topics related to the object and subject of the medium. In close collaboration with designer Hans Gremmen, Nunziata has made "Album" into a layered, kaleidoscopic book in which the reader becomes lost while travelling through the wonders of photography.
