The first extensive monograph dedicated to the work of Paolo
Ventura (Milan, 1968). Ventura has established himself in the field
of artistic photography, offering a singular and absolutely
original interpretation of staged photography, an art form in which
photography is the final product of a creative process which, in
his case, involves the preparation of scenarios and mannequins: the
latter, together with real characters among which the artist
himself often appears, are the protagonists of his stories. In
these three-dimensional settings Ventura recreates, and then fixes
through photography, a mental space that refers to the atmosphere
of “magical realism” and to the fairytale flavour of childhood,
generating a deliberately surreal contrast with the depth of some
topics involved (such as war, abandonment, memory, identity). The
volume offers an overall look at the artist’s 15 years of
activity, showcasing 21 series from 2005 to the present time,
highlighting the evolution of his language which, in addition to
photography, is also expressed through drawings. The monograph
includes critical texts by Walter Guadagnini and Francine Prose, an
interview with Ventura by Monica Poggi and biographical notes. Text
in English and Italian.
This book highlights new and original contributions on Graph Theory
and Combinatorial Optimization both from the theoretical point of
view and from applications in all fields. The book chapters
describe models and methods based on graphs, structural properties,
discrete optimization, network optimization, mixed-integer
programming, heuristics, meta-heuristics, math-heuristics, and
exact methods as well as applications. The book collects selected
contributions from the CTW2020 international conference (18th
Cologne-Twente Workshop on Graphs and Combinatorial Optimization),
held online on September 14-16, 2020. The conference was organized
by IASI-CNR with the contribution of University of Roma Tre,
University Roma Tor Vergata, and CNRS-LIX and with the support of
AIRO. It is addressed to researchers, PhD students, and
practitioners in the fields of Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics,
Combinatorial Optimization, and Operations Research.
