A PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHILDHOOD​

by Massimiliano Tappari

 

"When I was a baby and my mother held me in her arms, I hung on a button that was the shape and colour of a mulberry. I still remember the tactile sensation of that hold. While she read me a story I read her, and without losing the thread I followed the texture of the jumper, the curve of her chin, and the fold of her arm. They were all macro photos I was taking in quick succession. 
"Childhood of a Photographer" consists of short stories, sometimes very short, of episodes, memories, visions, readings, and encounters that are fundamental to the construction of one's imagination and the formation of the self."
