Index G by Piergiorgio Casotti & Emanuele Brutti

A collection of works by Italian photographers Piergiorgio Casotti and Emanuele Brutti.

"Index G" is a statistical measure of inequality devised by Italian statistician Corrado Gini in 1936, and is also used as an index to measure housing segregation. , refers to “The Gini Index”. In recent years, racial discrimination in urban areas of the United States seems to have declined, but in reality, inequality and discrimination have moved from neighborhood differences to a more macro level: urban centers, suburbs, and peripheries. I just moved to. For example, in St. Louis, Missouri, segregation by postal code is significant, with 95% black residents north of Delimar Street and an average life expectancy of 67 years, compared to 70% white residents south, with an average life expectancy of 67 years. Life expectancy is 82 years.

This book is structured like a silent play without any commentary or text in between, so as to give a vague glimpse of the reality that lurks in the shadows of everyday scenes.
