“Photography changes nothing. Violence continues, poverty continues, children are still being killed in stupid wars.”
She called her archive “Archive of Blood”.

Passionately engaged in the social and political harsh realities of Palermo, self-taught photojournalist Letizia Battaglia shed light on atrocities of Sicilian mafia
through her unsettling black & white photos. Images of murders, degraded neighborhoods, and violence with strong aesthetic qualities.

Her shocking images confronted the mafia as “she faced up to the fear they instilled and refused to be afraid at a time when it could have cost her her life.”
