Homage to James Hutton, focuses on the aftermath of the earthquake that shook the Italian region of Abruzzo and the city of L’Aquila in 2009. The series displays images of an antipodal nature to the substantial amount of photojournalistic projects that followed the event. Barile applies a scientific detachment to the tragedy, finding fertile ground for his research in the collaboration with the geologist Antonio Moretti, whose technical diagrams, applied and layered onto Barile’s landscapes, encourage a meditative exercise on the complexity of landscape, its evolution and formation.
