About the Book
Life being given and received, executioner and victim, confused screams from the man and the animal, bodies painted in blood, homogenizing the killer and the slaughtered as much as to appear an hyper- realistic illusion, just as if this excess of reality -putting you through an emotional overload- could open the door of ordinary consciousness, leading us beyond, in a state of de-realization, de-personification, of trance, where space and time hang universally: it is today in the Dominican Republic but could well be one thousand years ago in the European middle ages.

About the Creator
Giovanni Savino, an Italian-American photographer, based in New York for over two decades and recently returned to his native Italy, worked for CBS News in various roles for about 30 years. He has independently produced a series of documentaries on folk music and disappearing oral traditions that have been broadcast on PBS, CNN International, and are in the permanent collections of many academic institutions in the United States and abroad. A speaker at TED-X, Giovanni is currently a practitioner of "Slow Photography", trying to divulge the use of large format equipment and techniques of the past, while developing new strategies for the sustainability of analog photography in our digital age. Giovanni operated a large format portrait studio and darkroom in Manhattan, New York, for many years. Since he moved back to Italy, he continues to offer portraiture sessions by appointment and analog photography workshops.
