I would be a plant / even a weed, / a vine, / bett er would be an olive tree, / maybe a pomegranate. / Being able to remain still / and motionless, / in a court yard of Campidano, in a garden in Baronia, / in a vineyard in Dorgali. / Knowing the history of a house, / knowing the moods of the seasons. / Making giggle / even the wisest of my village.

In the dynamics between crisis and transformation, stasis has proved to be ineluctable, terribly necessary. Sardinia, with its laterality and its presumed separation, has become a metaphor for a universal condition.
The volume presents the result of the research of the three photographers and includes contributions by scholars from disparate disciplinary fields, who off er different interpretations for the works and the complex times we are experiencing.
