Walls

Layers of torn posters, chipped and peeling stucco and plaster, ghostly images formed by time and nature, childlike sketches by an unknown hand: these images and more can be found in this volume which focuses exclusively on walls. Since 1950, photographer Nino Migliori has been observing what we often overlook--and capturing its loveliness so that we can then see it. This beautifully printed book renders walls, often shot abstracted or fragmented beyond the figurative, to be strangely compelling. Presented here is another strong testiment to the fact that Migliori has developed some of the most articulated and interesting photographic research in European image culture.
