This exhibition features a Florentine rephotographic project funded by a 2008 Fulbright Grant and is based exclusively on the private collections of the Fratelli Alinari in Florence, Italy (the world’s oldest photo archive). Local artist, Amy Holmes George, retraced the steps of the Alinari photographers, visited significant sites within the city of Florence, rephotographed them from the same point of view using today’s digital technology and then printed the images in platinum/palladium, paying homage to an historical photographic process commonly employed during the time of the Alinari.
