Ottantuno
2023
Ottantuno (“eighty-one” in Italian) is a four-hand photographic project, carried out by Isacco Emiliani and his grandfather, Antonio Panzavolta, a farmer and keen reader, aged 81 at the time of the latest picture. On his uncle’s death, Isacco Emiliani found his camera and became passionate about photography. For seven years, he and his grandfather Antonio set off to discover spectacular trees to photograph them at night, discovering themselves in the process, too. This is the story of a man and his grandfather, and their shared love for trees. The book Ottantuno was published in 2022.
