The Invisible City

by Francine Prose and Ludovico Pratesi

"The city is there. It has always been there. Irene Kung's photos remind us: We have only to close our eyes and fall asleep and wait for the dream in which it appears."--Francine Prose

The urban space revisited by Irene Kung becomes, through her camera, a different, silent, and motionless space. An area that we know, because we recognize the monuments she portrays--extracts from the memory of the cities, from their past or their future, futuristic--and partly surprising.

Irene Kung, born in Bern in 1958, lived and worked in Madrid and New York as graphic designer, painter, and photographer before settling in Italy.
