A photographer's compilation of the rich materiality of science photography Andrea Ferrari’s (born 1970) new book By Means of the Sun compiles analogue and digital images taken or simply selected by Ferrari, that were made for scientific or creative purposes, and were produced by a camera or by direct chemical modification of the film, as well as drawings that, through the mediation of the lens, themselves turn into photographs.This book deftly reflects the current state of photography, one that is postdigital and postmodern, omnivorous and protean. Beginning with the work of William Henry Fox Talbot, to whom this project is dedicated, Ferrari’s wide-ranging sequence of images touches on themes as vast as the beginnings of photography and the origin of the world, drawing as a link between image and writing, and the egg as an archetypal form.

Wild Window is Andrea Ferrari's personal cabinet of curiosities, a collection of photos of taxidermy animals, shells, eggs and coral that explores the gaze as a universal trait shared by both humans and animals. In its format and design Wild Window recalls a naturalist's notebook full of wonderful creatures observed on an imaginary journey to exotic lands. The book thus shows our age-old desire to record and classify nature, as well our passion for re-living it through studying specimens of flora and fauna. Yet Ferrari's vision is far from impersonal or scientific. He arranges his photos in a loose grid rich with ambivalence and associations, and colors many images a soft, muted pink that references the familiar hue of human skin. In Ferrari's hands nature is an interaction where creatures observe us as we observe them, and we weave intuitive narrative connections between all that we see. Ferrari ... deliberately reverts to ambiguity and evokes what is not present in the image to recall the experience of vision and its consequences for knowledge and interpreting the world... This throws the cycle into a new dimension, that of cosmogony, of being able to re-create a world from its images and figures. Walter Guadagnini

La rebelión de las palabras cuenta la historia de la familia Clum, cuyos miembros se ven afectados por un mal relacionado con el lenguaje. El mal adquiere muchas formas distintas: en algunos casos, los personajes son incapaces de pronunciar alguna letra, o dos letras juntas; en otros, afecta el estilo de su conversación, pues comienzan a hablar, por ejemplo, en versos rimados. Sin embargo, todos tienen algo en común: su capacidad de comunicación se ve afectada y reciben algún efecto beneficioso. A través del humor, la ironía y el ingenio, esta extraordinaria novela de Andrea Ferrari nos permite disfrutar del lenguaje, de las palabras y frases que lo componen, y, al mismo tiempo, reflexionar sobre la importancia de la comunicación entre los seres humanos.
