Published for the exhibition at the Reggia di Caserta, the book gathers some of the central themes of Antonio Biasiucci’s research and builds a path through images that seem to emerge from a remote depth and resurface in the present. Bread, volcanoes, skulls, bodies, water, organic and mineral fragments form a primary alphabet of existence: everyday and at once original forms, close and archaic, able to go beyond the individual dimension and become collective images. Photography here does not document but digs into matter and its deep layers, letting unexpected relations between things and traces of an older memory surface: bread can become body, milk cosmos, stone an inner landscape.
