Blanco

[johnastovall]

"For the photographer Stefano De Luigi, blanco or white, defines the idea of blindness as a constant vision of white. Just as Seurat filled his painter’s canvas, Stefano De Luigi fills his photographic canvas with infinite colors which combine as white, reflecting a complex understanding of the world of the blind. Taking this concept as his starting point De Luigi began a four-year journey delving into the life of the visually impaired around the world. Like much art it can be hard to contemplate. It can also illuminate our understanding of what it is to be blind."

On a side note, the picture with the brail book shows the paper is white and the spine is red. I have to say that the bleached white paper is not needed, since the pages don't require any visual contrast to be read. They could save a manufacturing step or two and just use natural tan/grey paper. And, the reader isn't going to notice the red spine, either. It seems like a pointless addition to the book...

Seems something else is missing here rather the white paper or red spine, an open heart.
