We are pleased to share that Dr Cristina Pividori has contributed an essay to the exhibition catalogue Giorni di Guerra \u2013 Days of War<\/a>, produced for the project Days of War \u2013 The Photographer\u2019s Shadow<\/a>, which marks the 110th anniversary of Italy\u2019s entry into the First World War. The event brings together historical and contemporary visual work in Venice (Ca\u2019 Foscari Zattere \u2013 Tesa Rooms) and at the Museo della Battaglia in Vittorio Veneto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pividori’s article, \u201cThe Dynamics of Postmemory: Visual Art as a Living Site of Remembrance\u201d, appears in the catalogue (Italian\/English) within the section The Photographer\u2019s Shadow<\/em>. It accompanies the exhibitions devoted to Heinrich Vogeler, Luigi Marzocchi, Daniil Revkovskyi & Andrii Rachynskyi, Stanislava Pinchuk and Albane de Labarthe, tracing how their engravings, stereoscopic photographs, data-maps, installations and textile works reactivate memories of war across conflicts from the First World War to Afghanistan and Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n

Drawing on Hirsch\u2019s notions of \u201cliquid time\u201d and the \u201cdynamics of postmemory,\u201d Pividori’s essay argues that these images do not simply document violence; they create encounters in which past and present, analogue and digital media intersect. These works transform archives into \u201cliving\u201d sites of remembrance, asking how war is carried forward in bodies, landscapes and museum spaces, and what kind of ethical response contemporary viewers owe to images of conflict today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This catalogue situates visual art at the centre of current debates on memory, trauma and representation, and we are delighted to be part of this collective reflection on how images continue to shape\u2013and trouble\u2013our understanding of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
