Mario Cresci, MISURAZIONI. FOTOGRAFIA E TERRITORIO. OGGETTI, SEGNI E ANALOGIE FOTOGRAFICHE IN BASILICATA, 1978

– “Misurazioni” (Measurements) is the meaning, the way of conducting and living a field work in a very specific ambit rich of implications and it is at the same time the occasion for the analysis of a behavior explicitly referred to both the photographic medium and to social reality. – 

Cresci has photographed, from time to time, the tools, the house, the objects and the gestures as elements indicative of an autonomous culture and certainly not subordinate to any other in terms of the material relationship with the world of things and language. A classic of a master of new Italian photography on the relationship between photography, image, anthropology and memory.
