Author: Silvia Camporesi
This striking volume by photographer Silvia Camporesi is underpinned by her interest in the irregular and non-canonical. She finds resonances and collisions between images – of extraordinary natural beauty, well-known treasures, unusual museums. Here, we travel through an Italy that seems out of time, a country of "estranging beauty," where each photograph generates wonder, and functions as an opening onto an inner landscape, bringing with it a sense of disorientation and disquiet. While treasures like San Galgano or Villa Adriana in Tivoli may be familiar to us, very few will have heard of the Agostinelli Museum in Dragona, the Damanhur underground temple or the Villa Rossi Park in Santorso.Texts by Franco Arminio, Maria Vittoria Baravelli and a dialogue between Silvia Camporesi and Cesare Pomarici enrich the book.
ISBN 9791254930571. Edizioni Corraini. hb. 139 pages. 27 x 39 cm.
