Italian-born, Canadian-based documentary photographer Vincenzo
Pietropaolo has made it his life s mission to photograph the
immigrant experience, working class culture and social justice
issues. Considered one of Canada s pre-eminent documentary
photographers, his work is distinguished for the sense of dignity
and empathy toward his subjects. In "Ritual," he brings together a
retrospective collection of 150 photographs spanning 46 years. The
book is an historic documentation, unparalleled in scope, of the
Good Friday processionan elaborate event that takes place annually
in the streets of Toronto s Little Italy, the largest Italian
immigrant community in the world. Consisting of multiple
re-enactments with live actors and statues of Biblical "tableaux
vivants" that depict the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross), the event
is the emotional high point of the community. Pietropaolo has
attended the event for over four decades, documenting its
transformation from a tiny local parish affair to a major urban
gathering to which tens of thousands throng every year in reverence
or as curious onlookers." Ritual" is a moving document of social
history that reflects the acculturation of an immigrant community
of humble origins into a dynamic life-force of their city."
