Dno oka. Eseje o fotografii

Photographs hold a special place: the essence of visual culture and at the same time still, mute objects steeped in the past, a kind of memento mori. There are images that stand for historic moments and intimate ones that link us to a vanished world. The essays teach how to read them, surrounding each with narrative, learning and imagination, half reportage on bygone moments, half poetry, drawing out the stories hidden behind the pose, the arrangement, the scenery and the expression.
