Synopsis and technical informations
Origini edizioni returns with a work that does not betray its poetics: still photography and poetry.
This book is the wood of the cross of Christ: the common and poor material that becomes a universal symbol. The structure itself is divided into three "stations", as if they were the Via Crucis: the son tells the way towards the end of his elderly father who, after the death of his wife, has chosen to abandon everything for a simple and secluded life, on the river .
This reflection has the essential and mystical tones of Carlo Betocchi's poems and resembles the rhythm and space of a musical work, which in fact accompanies it: each copy contains a vinyl record with three original songs by Claudio Laucci.
