Between documentation and artistic research, the photographers recount how they turned their observations into pictures.
Stefano Graziani, Rachele Maistrello, Domingo Milella, Luca Nostri and Giulia Parlato are the photographers commissioned by Ghella, an Italian company specialising in underground excavations, to document and freely interpret the birth of major infrastructure projects in Italy, Canada, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
