ZAGRIZ by Ludovica De Santis
Counter-Narratives and the True Spirit of the Balkans
This interview delves into Ludovica De Santis’ creative process through the making of her photobook and project ZAGRIZ, a trip to the Balkans which tells of local counter-narratives and belonging.
She explains: “The word ‘caries’ comes from Latin and means ‘corrosion.’ During my trip around the Balkans, a Romani man from Kosovo told me that the Balkan Peninsula was ‘the most damaged tooth in Europe.’ I thought of it as a peculiar metaphor, but nothing more.”
