Giovanni Cocco, Displacement: New Town No Town

Destroyed by an earthquake in 2009, the central Italian town of L’Aquila lies at the heart of Cocco’s series “Displacement: New Town No Town”. The Italian photographer (born 1973) presents the consequences of the catastrophe, and the loss of identity experienced by the former citizens, who are living in emergency shelters outside the historic town in hope of returning home one day.
