Wim Wenders collects in this volume twenty black and white photographs, taken between 1964 and 1984. They are scattered shots, captured in Algeria, England, Indonesia, Iceland, Australia, the United States and Russia. The subjects are the most diverse: panoramas of naturalistic landscapes, glimpses of everyday village or metropolitan life, lyrical and melancholic views in which the human element fades or stands out strongly.
Through them, the great director offers us, in an indirect and non-programmatic way, a way to approach his own style and to intuit, perhaps, the vision that animates his view of the world. In the introductory text, curator, and art critic Simone Azzoni stitches together the stories that animate these shots, accompanying a reflection that winds through the very early expressive phase of the great German master and expands to his entire career.
Adding to the selection of images is an exclusive interview, also addressed to the director by Azzoni, through which the poetic convictions that motivate recurring choices in the director’s career are investigated, an overview of the expressive invariants of Wenders’ interdisciplinary artistic production.
