The Lizard, by Gabriele Rossi

Following the exhibition devoted to the author's reflections on the changing nature of his photographs from his first project, Itaca, to what was still a dummy in 2021, we are happy to celebrate the publication of The Lizard with him and his editors, Alex and Clint of Deadbeat Club. Making photographs as a way of “feeling at home without being at home.” That’s how Gabriele Rossi describes the process that led to The

Over the years going back to the memory of the experience of those events has pushed Gabriele to reappropriate that visual material through a physical rework
