Dear readers,
As we come to the end of this remarkable journey through the pages of our photobook, I
find myself overwhelmed with a sense of awe and wonder. In the captivating realms of hidden
cities, we have traversed the imagination and creativity of Italo Calvino, finding inspiration
in his literary masterpiece, “Invisible Cities.” Now, as we bid farewell, I am filled with
a deep appreciation for the seven artists whose extraordinary photographs have breathed
life into the essence of our 9 panels assignment.
Each turn of the page has transported us to a new destination, where reality and fantasy intermingle,
blurring the boundaries between what is seen and what lies beneath the surface.
Just like the hidden cities in Calvino’s enchanting tales, these images have woven tales of
their own, capturing the essence of places both tangible and ethereal.
Through the lens of these talented artists, we have witnessed the delicate interplay of light
and shadows, the vibrant tapestry of colors, and the symphony of emotions that permeate
these hidden cities. They have invited us to explore the depths of our own imagination, to
question the boundaries of our perception, and to embrace the beauty of the unknown.
It is my sincerest hope that this photobook has sparked your curiosity, kindled your sense
of adventure, and offered you moments of respite from the constraints of reality. In these
pages, we have sought to ignite the flame of inspiration within you, urging you to embark
on your own voyages of discovery and to uncover the hidden treasures that lie in wait.
Thank you, dear readers, for joining us on this extraordinary journey. May these hidden
cities continue to linger in your thoughts, whispering their secrets and inspiring your own
creative endeavors. May the images captured by these artists forever be etched in your
memory, reminding you of the boundless beauty that exists in the world around us.
With heartfelt gratitude and warm wishes,
Pho
