A blind subject is the objective corollary to the invisibility craved by the photographer. Starting from Paul Strand’s archetype “Blind Woman” (1916) and moving through the experiences of other famous artists like Walker Evans and Philiph – Lorca di Corcia, a real blindness, one of the qualities of human being, becomes a metaphor of a subject who ignores to be photgraphed.

“Blind woman, New York, 2013” combines two complementar, but also different, forms of blindness: the photographer is blind because she doesn’t look at the camera and she shoots repeatedly mingling into the crowd, while the subjects, photographed behind their backs during the subway routine, assume on themselves an allegoric condition of blindess.
