Author biography:
Isotta Poggi, a photo historian, studied at the University of Ca’ Foscari in Venice, Italy, and at UCLA. She is associate curator of photographs at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, California. Her research interests in nineteenth-century photography focus primarily on the cultural history of photography, archaeology, travel, and exploration of the Mediterranean basin, Middle East, and Africa, and the documentation of cultural heritage. Her exhibition projects related to these themes include Inside Out: Pompeian Interiors Exposed (2012), Connecting Seas: A Visual History of Discoveries and Encounters (2014), and recently collaborated with the Biblioteca di Storia Moderna e Contemporanea on a digital publication on the first photographic reportage of war titled Roma 1849: Stefano Lecchi. A co-editor of Promote, Tolerate, Ban: Art and Culture in Cold War Hungary in Los Angeles, she is currently researching the photo-based production of the 1980s in former East Germany.
