Ólafur Arnalds - From the Chopin Project - 'Eyes Shut/Nocturne in C Minor' & 'Reminiscence'

Photographer Antonio Palmerini from Rome, Italy quotes a poet when stating: "If you can't sleep at night, it's because you're awake in somebody else's dream". Just like in his photographs, where the subjects are projections of an imaginary and distant world, turned into vagabond ghosts and tormented wanderers.

Photography is the mirror of imagination. As he puts it himself: "Rather than offering a conventional image of a face or a landscape, I prefer to take a handkerchief, twist it however I like, and photograph it accordingly".

The techniques he uses to create this dream-like effect through photography are double exposure, long exposures and high contrast in film processing. When he finds subjects that cannot be captured on film, such as dreams or subconscious impulses, then Palmerini recourses to drawing and painting.

Palmerini meditatively walks on two creative horizons, that of drawing and that of photography. The first to expand on what cannot be photographed, the second to testify situations and evoke the very existence of people.

Hello, dear Joanna!! Thank you for re-uploading interesting works again!!
All of these images are reflections of my own inner mind and it makes me realize the reminding of something is that had forgotten what there were sorrow or grief in the past. But it really really beautiful and impressive!! Sorry my poor English.

With much love Issey
