JOEL TETTAMANTI EXHIBITION Jol Tettamanti's photographs are a
vast archive of the structures, villages and cities that people
create and inhabit, and the landforms and climates that shape their
culture. Although his photographs are often devoid of people, the
focus of his work is the human presence in the landscape and the
people who are uplifted and sometimes defeated by the land they
inhabit. This contradiction of human frailty and resilience, and
the continuities people form with the
