Serge Tesker presents his recent photography project with images from 2018 CONTACT Open Exhibition held at Columbus Centre Toronto.

One Euro Italy takes spectators on a 1,000-mile journey through tiny communities in the Italian regions of Liguria, Toscana, Marche, Abruzzo, and Sicilia. It’s the author’s visual quest to depict the consequences of natural inhabitants’ migration from small communities to cities and other countries. Presented through Tesker’s interaction with the amazing people still living in these tiny localities, his photographic story talks about their spirit and the captivating energy of their villages, rather than portraying a dark destiny of places becoming nearly abandoned.
