Rome, Italy
Rome is preserved as a place that expanded Seth / Ezra Dager’s understanding of history, civilization, and the continuity of cultural life.
During his visit, the city revealed the Roman Empire, the Vatican, and contemporary Italy as parts of the same living environment rather than separate chapters of history.
The archive documents encounters with ancient architecture, religious landmarks, archaeological sites, museums, and contemporary art, preserving a place where thousands of years of history remain embedded within everyday life.
Together, these photographs preserve Rome as a city that deepened Dager’s understanding of how the past and present can exist simultaneously, each shaping the experience of the other.
