Dear friends of Schilt Publishing & Gallery,
Fall 2019 brings us three totally different and very special books, with one of these published in combination with a wonderful exhibition in our gallery. Four years ago, photographer and anthropologist Alegra Ally set up the Wild Born Project with the aim of chronicling how indigenous women give birth in the traditional manner, while revealing the developments that are threatening these natural habits, some of which have existed for thousands of years. The first book to emerge from this long-term project is New Path – A window on Nenet life, following the life of a Nenet family on the Yamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic. Lena is nine months pregnant and preparing for the birth, while at the same time their herd of 800 reindeer needs to be accompanied on their winter migration trek. This birth saga becomes emblematic of the struggle for survival of the Nenet culture. Alegra’s amazing photography shows us a world of beauty and wonders, but it is also a tough and uncertain world, its very existence threatened by the ongoing industrialization of the fragile Arctic. Back in the Netherlands, in stunning, raw, analogue black & white photographs, Geert Broertjes portrays the loss within a single year of the three most important women in his life: his aunt, his grandmother and his mother. And if this wasn’t enough, while sharing his emotions with his girlfriend, this relationship also comes to an end just a couple of months after his mother passes away. But miraculously, Broertjes has been able to turn his dark feelings into a poetic story about love, loss and grief. The publication of this book will coincide with an exhibition of the superb silver gelatin prints in our gallery in Amsterdam. (Don’t forget that the highly creative and unique work of the influential Russian Sergey Chilikov is still on show at our gallery until the summer. These striking small size C-prints are very seldom exhibited and are pure jewels for collectors interested in this kind of photography!) And then to Sicily. In the 1930s, dictator Benito Mussolini decided that new villages had to be built throughout Sicily to bring modernism and prosperity to the island – a kind of colonialism of the Sicilian latifundium that resulted in the illusory optimism which is typical of such regimes. These unknown, mostly empty – and thus silent – witnesses of a crazy and cruel era have been photographed majestically by two photographers specialized in urbanism, architecture in general, and the colonial architecture of the Fascist Twenties in particular: Luisa Porta and Daniele Ratti. Leafing through the pages of this book, you will lose yourself in the phenomenal beauty of these bitter remains. As long as we all continue to refuse to accept mediocrity, a wonderful future lies ahead of us! Kindest regards, Maarten Schilt April 2019 Schilt Publishing

Alegra Ally
New Path A window on Nenet life
Design: Victor Levie, LevievanderMeer, Amsterdam
Documentary photographer and anthropologist Alegra Ally travelled to the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia from October through December 2016 to study and document the Nenet way of life. For thousands of years, indigenous Nenets have lived nomadic lifestyles herding reindeer across the Yamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic. Lena’s family is one of 12,000 Nenets still migrating the same routes as their ancestors have done for centuries. By following the Khudi family, New Path opens a window on Nenet life today, highlighting how they have adjusted to modern life, how their culture evolved in light of recent resource extraction developments, globalization, climate change – factors which both enrich and threaten their collective identity. The journey takes another dramatic turn as Lena – nine months pregnant – prepares for giving birth while the family needs to continue their annual winter migration in order to ensure the future of their herd of 800 reindeer. The birth saga thus becomes emblematic of the struggle for survival of the culture.

Geert Broertjes
One year A poetic story about love, loss and grief In a very short space of time, Geert Broertjes lost the most important women in his life. His aunt, grandmother and mother passed away. He shared his grief with his girlfriend, who became a recurring theme in this series. But even this relationship ended, a couple of months after his mother passed. Broertjes photographed the process instinctively. It was only afterwards that he noticed the coherence of his work. It became a poetic story about love, loss and grief. The beautiful photographs, all shot analogue in raw black and white, reveal the dark feelings he experienced during this intense period in his life.

Continuing through his remarkable photographic work centred on the urbanism and colonial architecture of the Fascist Twenties (in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Albania and the Dodecanese), Daniele Ratti this time remained in Italy. Together with Luisa Porta he decided to explore, in the Sicilian rural areas, another “colonial” reality, that of a fascinating constellation of semi-unknown and largely abandoned buildings. These are the numerous villages built in 1937/1940 by the ECLS, the national institution of colonisation of the Sicilian latifundium. The research of the two photographers is not a systematic work about those architectural contexts but an experience that has above all the goal of grasping as far as possible the deep soul of places, far from everything, that seem to exist as suspended in an almost metaphysical space-time continuum. These are spaces and buildings in which the echo of the illusory optimism of the regime resounds desolately distant, and they often present themselves as melancholic and evocative minimal, hidden examples of an aesthetic of the ruins of the recent past, in a land like Sicily impregnated with marvellous ancient ruins. The “Mussolini buildings” are always photographed in the most absolute solitude, even those that are in some way inhabited, because any living presence (as taught by Gabriele Basilico) inevitably draws attention to itself and distracts the gaze from the pure and clear vision of architectural reality. In this, of course, there is a precise formal intention, but the aesthetic formalism is avoided in so far as it is possible to make an authentic “portrait” of the buildings. People are absent from the scene, but their more or less distant presence can be perceived out of the frame.
Luisa Porta and Daniele Ratti work together on both histororical and current architectural photography projects, in Italy as well as abroad. They are currently based in Turin.
