SMELL THE INK AND DRIFT AWAY

“…the outside world falls away, the eye scans the image, you sense the paper on your fingertips, you feel the optical information spreading into your brain, you hear the sound of the turning page, you see the next image, you become aware of your own calm breath.”

CLAUDIO MAJORANA SENIOR at MICAMERA MILAN

in , ,

For my 25th birthday I received from my father a box of my grandfather Claudio Majorana's negatives. He was an engineer and politician but in his own way also a photographer. Like a Pandora's box the archive revealed a world I didn't know anything about. The fact we never met made these pictures the strongest connection between me and him. I'm super happy that his American pictures were just published by Archivio Magazine. You are all invited at Micamera Milan on November 18 for the presentation of the magazine and a talk about his work. I will be there with my father Marcello. Thanks Achille Filipponi, Alba Solaro, Giulia Zorzi and Gino Delledonne for the wonderful article.
