Heimat
Cesare Ballardini
Heimat is the new publication by Cesare Ballardini, published by Lugo Land, and in dialogue with Luca Nostri and Veronica Lanconelli.
The book features three photographic series created by Ballardini between 2006 and 2022. Each series centres on revisiting a specific location tied to his family or childhood. Ballardini captures the landscapes with precision, curiosity, and affection, but always with an underlying sense of discord.
“If she closed her eyes, she could mentally walk every street or dirt path, picture the frontage of every house with its number exactly as it is, describe the interiors of the ones she has visited, recall the smell of every store, the cracks in the asphalt where weeds grow vigorously, all with an entirely negligible margin of error.” From the text by Veronica Lanconelli.
