With Diachronicles, the winning project of the 2022 edition of Young Italian Photography | Premio Luigi Ghirri, Giulia Parlato dwells on the impossibility of thoroughly knowing the past, highlighting how objects can be protagonists of multiple narratives over time, through their representation as images.

The work stemmed from a visit at the Warburg Institute in London and is made of 37 photos depicting works of art, sites of cultural interest, authentic artifacts and fakes, and it reflects on the capacity of material culture to shape our past. By investigating various controversies and episodes of falsifications with a documentary and forensic style, Giulia Parlato shows the fragility of the elements that make up our knowledge and cultural identity, impossible to fully unravel. The exhibition is accompanied by the video The Discovery, made in collaboration with director Claudio Giordano, focused on the documentation of an alleged archaeological excavation, somewhere between the real and the verisimilar. 

The photographic project is being exhibited at Triennale for the first time in its complete form.
