mediterraneo
first edition, 1984. scarce.
"patrioli's models don't allude to anything; they do nothing more than deliver their image up to the camera. they are narcissus; the camera lens the reflecting pool. It is in this seductive pattern of reflections that the hunter's skill and fleetness lies. to approach a group of adolescent boys without provoking their latent cruelty, to catch them in the best concealed of tribal transgressions, involves taking part in an invitation to love."
