Concrete Metaphysics takes the reader on a fascinating, unusual and metaphysical journey through Italy. Metaphysics is concerned with what lies beyond the physical universe we perceive. This can only be suggested through metaphors: here the camera becomes a tool to create them and, as the title suggests through an oxymoron, to describe a concrete metaphysics. Black and white photographs, many on large-format film, show mysterious and unsettling places. These include the rationalist ideal city of Tresigallo, Burri's Gibellina cretto and the esoteric constructions of La Scarzuola and Bomarzo.
