Carla Cerati is a photographer and writer. For more than thirty years she has been playing this double game in a difficult balance between images and fiction. As a photoreporter or portrait photographer, she is not a product of any particular school; as a writer, she has not followed the traditional paths. She uses the camera to testify to the present, and the typewriter to understand the past: two different ways of achieving the same goal – narrating. But there is one major difference: photography became a profession for her practically right away, as well as a passion, driving her to study different fields, driven by an uninterrupted curiosity with the eye as a go-between with the rest of the world.
