The Dream Book with Life-Jacket Cover (FotoEvidence 2016)

Description

In the last decade, Fabio Bucciarelli has devoted himself to documenting the major world-changing events, wars, and revolutions, revealing to the world the cruelty of war and its devastating effects on the civilian population. A strong dedication led him to witness historical events, from the death of Gaddafi in Libya to the civilian war in Syria, during which Fabio took a series of harrowing images whose social value was recognized in 2013 with the Robert Capa Gold Medal.

Since 2011, Fabio has worked on a long-term project focused on the consequences of conflicts on civilians and the largest exodus of migrants and refugees after World War II.

The search for humanity in tragedy and the focus on the man rather than the refugee becomes the starting point for the long journey, where the dream has become the engine of a devastating journey in search of refuge.

The Dream is a mature reflection on the universal condition of the man and the woman who becomes a migrant, an empathic and emotional tribute to the thousands of people met during five years of committed documentation, an authorial narrative experiment set between photojournalism and art photography.
