Again, Gasparini demonstrates that photography canbe an act of conscience.

In the video, Litany of the dust, the words of John Villoro serve ascompany and stimulating images, exploring the poetic sense of the journey.

In his dual record, this book represents a unique experience: a photographer at the height of his powers investigates troubledreality, where beauty is as present as the shame.
