Abstract
A verbatim transcript of Valtorta's contribution to the
Symposium at Graz, 1986. The author researches the relationship
between American Photography and the New Italian Photographers.
First she deals with the non-existing photographic
infra-structure in Italy. Next the author describes one
important historical Italian tendency: a shift from
(social)-report on human action to a language of human-signs.
Centred around Luigi Ghirri. The next generation is typified by
"immediate observation of the environment". This generation has
been defenitely influenced by the "New Topographers" from the
USA (Baltz, Eggleston, Adams). She introduces some 6 new
Italians: Olivo Barbiere, Piere Delucca, Andrea Abata, Giantonio
Battistella, Umberto Sartorello and Vittore Fossati.
