the first European festival on creativity

2014 Programme

Event #17

Gianni Berengo Gardin, Roberto Koch

Writing with a Camera

Encounters in the pages of books, or real encounters. Gianni Berengo Gardin’s work has always been nurtured by the intellectual influences that stem from his readings and the friends he spends time with. As he himself says, what has influenced his photography the most is “reading”. From Caldwell to Dos Passos, from Faulkner to Hemingway to Steinbeck: these are his favourite authors. Roberto Koch will conduct the great master of photography along his professional path based on his habit of “writing with a camera”, an object that for Berengo Gardin is “like a writer’s pen, a tool used to tell stories”. Indeed, his favourite adventure has always been that of taking pictures that could end up in a book.
