BIOGRAPHY

The photographer Robert Polidori, born in Montreal, Canada, in 1951, is in search of the ravages of time, which he finds in the most diverse sites. In this process, Polidori is not only interested in the architecture of his chosen spaces but he also frequents deserted locations where the traces of history are still distinctly legible.

Photo reports in magazines such as “The New Yorker” – of which he is the main photographer – “Geo,” “Vanity Fair,” or “”Architectural Digest”, form the foundation of Polidori’s international success, which was recognized when he was awarded prizes such as the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2006/2007 and the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award 2002.

The publication of his series on the reactor catastrophe in Chernobyl is a frightening documentation of human failure. The exhibition “New Orleans, After the Flood” was shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2006 and displayed the disastrous consequences of Hurricane Katrina. This series gained broad recognition throughout a traumatized American population.

Photographs
