During winter and spring 2016 Sharon Ritossa searched for and took photographs of foibe, deep natural sinkholes typical of the Karst region, situated along the Italian, Slovenian and Croatian borders.
At the end of World War Two, the foibe of the Karst were used as mass graves to hide the bodies of Italians, Croats, Slovenes and Germans killed for political reasons.
Today, the history of these deep cavities is still unclear, disputed and often denied; the foibe continue to hide secrets.
This photographic research aims at reflecting on how the geological structure of a geographical region can affect its social and historical events.
The exploration of the Karst gave birth to a volume that is inspired by historical military maps.
