Parallel photographs between Cristiano Bocci (Grosseto, Italy) and Daniel Barbiero (Silver Spring/Washington D.C.)

“The place we inhabit isn’t simply a neutral frame within which things are, but rather a theater of encounter, a locus of meaning organized according to a hierarchy of affective preferences. These six images present the eye’s plain version of places whose plainness conceals the webs of associations that constitute their secret history.” – Daniel Barbiero

Daniel Barbiero is an improvising double bassist who composes graphic scores and writes on music, art and related subjects. He is a regular contributor to Avant Music News and Perfect Sound Forever. His most recent release is Wooden Mirrors, with Cristiano Bocci.

In addition to pursuing photography, Cristiano Bocci plays electric and acoustic basses and theremin, and provides sound synthesis and live electronics. He collaborates on theater/dance and visual arts projects, and holds seminars on sound synthesis and its applications to improvisation in various music schools.
