In this volume, scholars and critics from multiple disciplines—art, architecture, anthropology, archaeology, material culture studies, and philosophy—come together to the power and reach of Steven Seidenberg’s work in The Architecture of Silence. Each scholar, artist, or critic here reflects Steven Seidenberg’s work through the lens of their own discipline, creating a remarkably interdisciplinary interrogation of the role of photography to understand landscape, history, places, and time.

Seidenberg’s photographs in this volume give us a complex visual record of Italy “as it might have been” had the Riforma Fondiaria been a success, but they also hold a mirror up to the Italian nation about how the country and its countryside really was and is. This project is not journalistic reportage wearing its bias openly. What these images do is to capture the remains of the project and the layers of interaction with the houses and the land surrounding them over the past half a century. ---Giuliana Pieri
