Chronicle of a fall

Chronicle of a Fall is the intimate and uncompromising testimony of an accident that transforms the author, at 90 years old, into a chronicler of his own fragility. From the moment technology detects the fall to the rawness of the operating room and the slow rehabilitation, the book intertwines body, memory, and the medical system into a visual and reflective narrative. The camera is not abandoned: it accompanies. Between stark color images and monochromatic meditations, the author reaffirms his observer’s ethics, even when the territory to be documented is his own broken bone. Rooted in the history of autobiographical photography and in dialogue with the digital age, this volume converts vulnerability into thought. Here, the smartwatch and the surgeon’s hands coexist, hallucination turned into code and the certainty of physical pain. More than the chronicle of an accident, it is a powerful affirmation: as long as we can narrate our fractures, the image will remain an act of resistance and of life.
