Altari enters the rural landscapes of Campania, Italy, where depopulation whispers of a fading past. Paolo Covino presents a photographic topology of bedrooms, each a sanctuary of tradition and heritage. As the elderly cling to their homes, customs, and superstitions, Covino captures the essence of a community in transition. These bedrooms, once revered as places of worship for a fading past, now stand as relics of a bygone era. Each photograph, documents the intersection of social, cultural, and historical change, where the weight of history threatens to vanish into the ether.

Paolo Covino

Paolo Covino, born in 1983, lives in Pietrelcina and works in Naples. His connection to his own territory, the Campania hinterland, is fundamental to his formative growth. He began by collaborating with some local publications, and later, with personal and introspective projects, he achieved publication in national magazines. He has participated in several group and solo exhibitions both in Italy and abroad.
