Marseilles, France (1971)

Louidgi Beltrame’s work is based on documenting modes of human organisation throughout the history of the 20th century. He travels to sites defined by a paradigmatic relation to modernity: Hiroshima, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Chandigarh, Chernobyl or the mining colony of Gunkanjima, in the sea off Nagasaki. His films — based on the recording of reality and the constitution of an archive — appeal to fiction as a possible way to consider History.
