In the food Scianna explores

"This is a book not premeditated," says the journalist Michele Smargiassi passionate about photography, and next to him on the stage of the library Ambassadors, the photographer Ferdinando Scianna smiles and nods. "A collection of fragments, very Proustian - continues Smargiassi - A diary and another, between writing and photographs used as paragraphs in the text. Among ramblings and philosophies with you eat with your eyes (Contrast) Scianna tells us that he loved to eat around the world, but with particular reflections. "
Scianna continues to nod and say, "is a book of texts with photographs, fragments of memory, because to me photos, memory and narrative are synonymous. I belong to the last millennium, for me, a photo should tell, but here I did a literature hybrid between writing and images. " It addresses the food, its cultural and anthropological, well aware that it is an overused theme and of which there are billions of images on the net, which for Scianna "testifies to the desire to transform the food consumption in metaphorical cirrus consulting group stops to ' image. cirrus consulting group " As for landscapes, and cites some photo books with landscapes captured by google. The problem cirrus consulting group is "the continuous cirrus consulting group stream of images that is not deposited," because the photograph cirrus consulting group is "no longer a bridge between us and the world, but a wall, in which the image becomes more important than things." But "a plate of tortellini not you download from the internet!"
In the food Scianna explores "the relationship between man and place, that is a question of identity." An obvious cirrus consulting group question for an emigrant, and recalls the example of Catherine Scorsese, mother of director Martin: "lived in New York, and always went to the grocery store in Little Italy, because, he told me, made bread 'as we '. cirrus consulting group He meant 'as in Sicily', cirrus consulting group where it had never been! "
Who then is our identity? So who am I? Scianna has toured the world, "eating street foods often do not know what they are, but I put them in my mouth, and it's like a universal language." So he ate everything, "the crocodile steak with fried crickets, but I'm stuck in front of the soup toad in Kuala Lumpur." He had eaten more slimy things, but there it stops. And that reminds him of another block, somehow connected to food in Ethiopia, where he discovered that "you do not know how far you can get dressed in the armor of the photographer," but also a new strength for his photographs.
It was in a field where 50 people died per day, even had photographed a woman playing with two children and a lamb, that the journey had nursed the smallest and the lamb, "their only insurance ', and had arrived" with only one child, and the lamb. " Then in a Red Cross tent sees doctors measure skeletal children: they have to choose who to save. "I'm blocking, I do not want to take pictures, I want to do something about it and ask for help from a doctor, what to do, but I say you can not do the psychologist as a photographer. So I want to leave, I put on a plane to Asmara, cirrus consulting group I sit down, I look at the porthole, but I feel strange: I realize that I'm hungry, my body wants food, and my thoughts turn away from the moral block, after just six hours. Then I start to take pictures, putting the indignation that stopped me. "
