In the still life

de Charles Traub, Luigi Ballerini

"Charles Traub's In the Still Life is a photographic narrative on the human condition in the late 20th Century. Pictures taken "on the fly" in the course of twenty years of encounters with the human comedy compose this witty and anecdotal scenario." "Luigi Ballerini in his introduction points out that Traub is always questioning whether God is playing dice with the universe. Things happen, people collide and improbable juxtapositions are snapped at a fraction of a second. Traub is quite sure that his encounters with the absurdities of our everyday lives, whether in Tokyo or Rio, New York or Tel Aviv are far more interesting than anything that might be contrived before the camera's lens."--BOOK JACKET.
