Linda Acunto is a photographer whose visual research is based on a documentary approach combined with a personal narrative that allows her to carry out an action of interpretation as well as storytelling. Her working method starts with confrontation and study and then moves on to visual research and the development of the project itself. Each image has an anthropological research base.
The themes she deals with are those of memory, identity and the territory, in relation to its inhabitants.
