In 1987, Fabio Ponzio embarked on a photographic odyssey across Central and?Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. Starting in?Istanbul, and making his way to Poland, Ponzio found?little food in the shops and long lines to?buy bread.??With supplies dwindling in the shops and immense crowds to buy necessities, the countries along his route?were on the verge?of?collapse. And in the autumn?of?1989, as the various regimes?of?communist countries from Budapest to Bucharest began to crumble,?everything changed.?Equipped with a?Leica, three Nikons and 100 rolls?of?film,?Ponzio continued his travels across?this immense territory,?documenting lives marked by pain?and sacrifice, now joined by a new energy, full?of?hope. For two decades, he?returned to capture the traditions, faith, humility, courage, and strength?of?the people?of?the?East.??From a previously unpublished archive and an award-winning talent,?East?of?Nowhere?is an exquisite collection?of?photographs that?illuminate the physical and ideological divisions between Western and?Eastern Europe, while?offering a sympathetic and hopeful vision?of?the human condition.?
