La Bête – A Modern Tale. With Yasmina Benabderrahmane, published by Mack
In 2012, Benabderrahmane returned to her home country of Morocco after 12 years, crossing the dunes and plains to create Super-8 films mapping out the ever-changing landscape. The film stills collected in this book invite us to follow the path winding between tradition and modernity.

Slender shrubs, twisted branches of wild roses reaching out into the clear air of a late winter. A sequence of thirty-eight photographs, thirty-eight precision exercises on looking and attention: silent, step-by-step reflections on space, light, the colors of the day.

Adriatico with Riccardo Fregoso and Claudio Musso
Everyone knows of the existence of an Adriatic Sea – but is there such a thing as an “Adriatic light”? This might be a key query when we look at the shots made by Riccardo Fregoso, initially on the coasts of Abruzzo and Molise, then shifting the horizon northward towards the Marches and Puglia.
Adriatico is undoubtedly a voyage, a movement through places, the description of a trajectory in points, actually with many co
