Paola Mattioli’s photography sees reality in brief imaginative epiphanies, where representation is a literary note, the sedimentation of an idea, a memory, a vision that becomes verse for images. In the portrait, the instrument of sight tells “a story, a tale, a responsibility, an attitude, a question, a partiality, a subtle distance, a text” (Paola Mattioli, L’infinito nel volto dell’altro, Mimesis, Milan 2023, p. 5).
