Italian Views features intimate domestic portraits against the cinematic backdrop of Italian cities. Gail Albert Halaban gazes through the windows of others in communities throughout Florence, Milan, Venice, Palermo, Naples, Lucca, and Rome. She works with local residents to stage and collaborate on each portrait, and through her lens, the viewer is welcomed into the private lives of ordinary Italian people. Her photographs explore the conventions and tensions of urban lifestyles, feelings of isolation in the city, and the intimacies of home and daily life. Paired with the photographs are short vignettes, imagining what the neighbours might see of her subjects on a daily basis, and Francine Prose contributes a meditative essay discussing the curious thrill of being a viewer. This invitation to envision the lives of neighbours through windows renders the characters and settings of Italy personal and mysterious.
