In 1943, Europe was a vast battleground. While enemy soldiers took a few photographs, a group of prisoners on an Italian prison island wrote a remarkable text prefiguring what was to become the European Union: the Ventotene Manifesto. On the one hand we have words that go beyond images ; on the other, photographs without commentary. These apparently anodine photographs have no need of words in order to resonate with the public. The exhibition presents original prints by six anonymous photographers.
