Daniele Villa Zorn, The Divine Tourist, published by Leporello books. With Daniele Villa Zorn and Chiara Capodici
Daniele Villa Zorn has always made collages, using a simple, minimalist technique that could be considered reminiscent of the basic format of the haiku: he combines just two photographic fragments, two images, one of which is generally marked by a tear. Over the years, much of his production turned to the use of images of nature, taken from travel books and guidebooks, mainly published between the 1950s and early 1970s, in which Olympian placidity of

Valerio Polici, Interno, published by studiofaganel
Interno is ideally an open work in which, without using a script, Valerio Polici tried to construct a story made up just of images. Wandering through many interior spaces, hence the title, until he losts all sense of perimeter, he let the photographs suggest hypothetical stories.A continuous flow winding between opposing forces of familiarity and distance, warmth and repulsion.

Kashi, by Tilby Vattard
"Varanasi, formerly known as Kashi, is a multi-thousand-year-old city in northern India. In a peaceful antagonism, spiritual fervor rubs shoulders with the race to modernity. Here, a sacred fire has been burning for over three thousand years, carrying the bodies of the dead in its smoke towards Moksha, deliverance from the cycle of rebirths. For me, photography is an act that involves the body and the mind, it's a meditation. And Varanasi, the spiritual

Dictionary vol. 1 by Luca Massaro, published by Artpapereditions
Luca Massaro has been building a solid body of work on ‘the invisible space that separates an image from its caption, photographs from words, in their different forms of production, translation and transmission’. Through an eclectic array of photographs, words, sculptures, installations and artists books, concocted with advertising techniques of manipulation, borrowed from the urban and online accelerated mediascape, such as the proliferation of backlit devices, the repetition of graphic logos and leitmotifs, hi
