A hymn to beauty. Arianna is a globetrotting photographer. Her black and white portraits tell of lives on the fringes, with strong contrasts to highlight the social inequalities she sees. Some compare her photographs to the most famous shots of Dorothea Lange, the famous American photographer who documented the Great Depression. Her black and white portraits tell of lives on the fringes, with high contrasts, in order to highlight the social inequalities, she sees. She captures gazes marked by loneliness and resignation, and wrinkled and chapped faces in the poorest and often autarchic villages of Southeast Asia.
