I had the true pleasure to write an essay for Francesco Pennacchio’s beautiful photobook, Unlike Flowers. Published by Artphilein Editions, the book is a long-term photographic investigation into grief, memory, and the fragile mechanisms through which presence can persist beyond absence. Francesco will be exhibiting the project at Bar Bachibouzouk, Rue du Jardin 12, Vevey during this year’s Biennial Images Vevey as well as at FOCUS, the exhibition space of the De Pietri Artphilein Foundation in Lugano Paradiso, from September 3th to October 30th.
