PLANET OF THE HOLES

A proliferation of potholes and destroyed pavements has plagued the streets of Rome for two decades. The situation has recently become untenable with a spike in car accidents caused by potholed roads in the busiest areas. This photographic exploration, conducted in all fifteen districts of the city, scientifically approaches the cracks, ruts and open craters, transforming the Eternal City into a new, unknown and rough planet worth exploring and rediscovering. Everything was carefully mapped with GPS coordinates, dimensions of the cavities found and geographical evidence provided. Photos of locally collected artefacts were also included in the photographic sampling procedure. Can an up-close, research-based photographic approach redeem such a frightening landing on Planet Of The Holes?
