Robert Polidori is one of the world’s most acclaimed photographers of human habitats and environments. His images record a visual citation of both past history and the present times within the confines of a single frame. Born in Montreal, Canada, Polidori began his career in avant-garde film, assisting Jonas Mekas at the Anthology Film Archives in New York. While living in Paris in the early 1980s, he began documenting the restoration of Versailles, and has continued over a 30 year period to photograph the ongoing changes. Polidori’s additional projects include Havana, Chernobyl, and the aftermath of the flooding post Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
