«cittàltra» reveals a city much different than the one we are accustomed to.
The urban landscape, pictured in different moments, gives back a different view of architecture, becoming a story: buildings, streets, bridges are exclusively made and planned by the human being, but, in spite of that, he never appears in those pictures. Those architectures tell about a man ready to react, but standing still on himself: the fear to be and search his inner self blocks the gear, diminishing his intellectual will and opening a phase of inaction. Franca Giovanrosa, a young photographer from Rome, inquires today's society through the vision of the city that becomes "other", that is the characterizing representation of the feelings of deep inner crisis of our time. The rust of the frame and the chromatic background of the images represents the "acquiescence", that is the passive, inert acceptance, unmistakable symptom of the mentally ill man, blocked in and on himself.
