Palermo Diary

The latest in the series of City Diaries by Peter Bialobrzeski.

In his global, long-term project planned for approximately 50 volumes since its inception in 2013—Peter Bialobrzeski questions whether our mental image of a city, shaped by prejudice, preconception, and media representation, can be translated into authentic visual records.
For these four newest volumes, Bialobrzeski traveled to Donostia, Kigali, Palermo, and Tbilisi. He focuses on the cultural nuances visible within each cityscape, examining what has been eroded by increasing globalization and what remains distinct. Through his consistent and seemingly objective visual language, this epochal documentary experiment becomes vividly clear within each individual book and even more compelling when compared across the series.
