Overview

"This beautifully illustrated monograph on Italian artist and photographer Emma Vitti features paintings, drawings, and photographs which express the flow of being with waves of images that follow one another naturally, like the crest of a river. This body of work, created over the course of her career, is simultaneously fleeting and perpetual, fragile and yet unbreakable in both structure and content. It is meant to be seen as an evolving whole, recalling the unique symmetry of the inside of a snail shell or the core of an artichoke. Alike in form, yet unique. ""The notion of 'flow' is opaque, dense, intense, uncontrollable, and even undefinable at times. Its associations, both empirical and metaphysical... indicate complex processes that take place in secluded areas, within the warmth of bodies and minds. 'Life is a flow', Heraclitus of Ephesus recited two and a half thousand years ago, whereby 'flow', understood as change, is ever-present as a rule - not as an exception - that compels everything we do."" - Paola Paleari Text in English and Italian."
