Book Description: Sombras Secas (Dry Shadows) is the second skin of the city, its passers-by and through, its flying objects, its transparencies, vestiges of humanities, the imminence of thought, the grime trickling down a window pane, the photographer’s hesitation between what he really sees, what he is, and what he is trying to discover so he can finally become self-aware. It’s an internal playhouse of representations; it can’t be explained, only seen. No photograph is open to interpretation. Not here, among the dry shadows where Marcelo Greco’s pictures are part of a laboratory in which we sometimes get the feeling their silence (of life and death) is being challenged.
