Paolo Verzone — Arctic Zero
Festival Cortona On The Move
Fortezza del Girifalco – Cortona (ITALY)
From the 11th of July to the 29 of September 2019
For the past few years Paolo Verzone has been documenting the inhabitants of one of the world’s norther-most communities, Ny-Ålesund. This place is also a center for international Arctic research and environmental monitoring where a number of countries run their own national research stations. Close-by Longyearbyen is the administrative center of Svalbard, and a tiny Norwegian metropolis, with a mining history, that hosts 2,100 residents from almost 50 different countries.
