Transit time is a photographic project by Axel Babini and Gianmarco Missiroli that invites the viewer to cross the invisible boundaries separating the city of Ravenna from its industrial port, exploring the Ravenna Container Terminal from a perspective that combines corporate documentation and personal artistic research. Commissioned by TCR, the exhibition reveals the parallel universe that lives behind everyday Ravenna: that of the docks shrouded in fog, mechanical workshops, and industrial plants that rise majestic and sinister in the port landscape. 

These environments, which already inspired Michelangelo Antonioni for his Red Desert and have deeply influenced the imagery of generations of artists, not only from Ravenna, find new life through the lens of the two photographers, who, in their first joint exhibition, confront a theme that is now a classic in the history of photography (at least of so-called "documentary style" photography) and with their ideal masters: Stephen Shore, Guido Guidi, Luigi Ghirri, and in general with the Italian landscape school. In the photographs that make up the exhibition sequence, fascinating views of the terminal alternate, where colorful containers stand out against leaden skies and port cranes draw essential geometries, to intimate portraits of the workers who animate this industrial microcosm.
