Robert Polidori: Eye and I

Robert Polidori is known for his large format photographs of habitats and rooms saturated with the traces of human intervention. In Eye and I, he turns the lens around to reveal the portraits of people he has encountered in his work of more than years photographing around the world, particularly in the Middle East and India. These instantaneous portraits of mutual recognition reveal the photographed subject and the photographer intersecting with each other in a fleeting moment of mutual regard.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

L'Oeil de la Photographie

Jonas Cuenin

Polidori manages to discover a radianace and gentleness that contrasts with the usual visual representation of the lives of these people. Throughout the pages, we see the same smiles and same colors on the faces of older generations, workers, soldiers, merchants, armed civilians, the poor and the religious. Because Polidori remains sensitive to architecture and objects.

Somewhat standard but beautiful to touch, the portraits in Eye & I reveal the anthropological approach of every photographer of reality, including those who choose to represent its many laws through silence.
