Sinossi
"Punto d'ombra" presenta il nuovo lavoro di Teju Cole: una serie di immagini e parole che, come le pagine di un diario visivo, seguono e testimoniano i suoi diversi viaggi e peregrinazioni nel mondo. Anche se il progetto ha delle connessioni evidenti con le opere di autori come John Berger, Chris Marker e W.G. Sebald, "Punto d'ombra" di Teju Cole è qualcosa di diverso. Un lavoro originale e coraggioso che combina la poetica fotografia di paesaggio di Teju Cole con la sua prosa, lirica, allusiva e impegnata. Con un'introduzione di Siri Hustvedt.

Cole underwent surgery to repair his retinal perforations and restore his vision. After that, he write Leggi tutto
Teju Cole is a writer who has my utmost admiration because the intelligence of his work enables me to gain a more compassionate understanding of the world. Cole is, however, much more than a craftsman of words and sage ideas. He is also a renowned photographer, and his greatest gift may be his abili Leggi tutto
Teju Cole might be one of the coolest dudes in the world. Art historian, novelist, photographer, globetrotter. These photos are not awesome natural landscapes or vibrant, stunning portraits that you'd want to put on your wall. They're mostly of the fairly mundane and banal, or of wonderful places, f Leggi tutto
If I were a book I would like to be like Blind Spot; apparently sleek, beautiful and voluminous but edgy and dark on the inside. With words that draw lasting images in one’s mind and images revealing words and meanings you have always pictured in your mind but never found the means to express. And w Leggi tutto
Small pictures, big words. Gives you vivid dreams.
