The novel follows, with irony and verve, the adventures of Lara, a photographer in her late 50s, a melancholic widow and mother of a teenager, Daria, with two elderly parents and a vibrant network of voices that create a colorful and vibrant fresco of characters that emerge from the book's pages like the cards of an ancient divination art, animating a delicate tale full of imaginative and delirious twists. The photographic project presents a gallery of 52 signature photographs, created specifically to represent her personal vision of the meaning attributed to each Sibyl card, and forms the body of her new photographic project. Just like the divination cards, the photographs depicting Marco, her husband Stefano, and the other subjects portrayed provide the viewer with tools to seek answers, but within their own consciousness, which will not remain indifferent to a stimulus that is not merely aesthetic, but reaches straight to the heart for the depth of the content revealed by the image. The project offers us a stunning photographic theater where the care, rigor, and narrative coherence of the imagery, the skillful use of the body, gestures, and the relationship with the environment, the high quality of the lighting and contrasts that sculpt forms and intensify emotions, and the symbolic use of tones and colors, lead the viewer into a unique and unrepeatable immersive experience. Each shot, perfectly balanced between form and content, reveals meticulous attention to composition and the use of light, which shapes the subjects with an almost painterly touch. The poses, studied but never rigid, engage with the environment, creating an atmosphere of emotional suspense. The colors—sometimes warm and enveloping, sometimes essential and neutral—reinforce the narrative, amplifying moods and suggestions. The printing, on the highest quality materials, enhances every detail, from the textures of the skin to the most delicate plays of shadow. Beyond its visual impact, the photographic project stands out for its ability to evoke profound reflections on time, presence, and identity, transforming vision into an act of inner listening.
