Valerio Magrelli Sottotraccia collects photographs made by Pino Musi in the two areas of Asinara Island and Sulcis / Iglesiente, in Sardinia. These images are presented as two chapters of the same story: a careful reflection on the traces, sedimented and subterranean, that characterize the transformation processes of the islands. Edited by Marco Delogu Texts by Giovanni Columbu, Marco Delogu and Valerio Magrelli « There is a perfect symmetry created in the contrast between the glare of the island of Asinara and the darkness of the Sulcis fields. In this sense, it is spontaneous to observe how the two poles of this visual journey of Pino Musi coincide with the very components of photography, in a perfect balance between white-Asinara and black-Sulcis, between the dazzling images of the prison and certain “Piranesian” glimpses of the Iglesiente » Valerio Magrelli.
