I am a photographer and a bilingual poet in

Italian and in English. Photography and poetry

share the visual and verbal spaces between the

visible and the non-visible, and between la parola

scritta and laparola non scritta (the written word

and the unwritten wor(l)d, in Calvino’s beautiful

phrase). I find the representation of the world less

important than the search, through the camera,

for what is not accessible to my eyes, and, through

words, to the universe of the unsaid, which I

approximate by pushing the limits of my

visual and verbal language.

“I happen to believe in the beauty of simple things.

I believe that the most uninteresting thing can be

very interesting.”

Saul Leiter
