Where does a style come from if not from trauma?

For Massimo Recalcati, one of Italy’s best-known psychoanalysts, Parmiggiani’s poetics becomes an extraordinary lesson on the relationship between creation and repetition, life and death, an investigation into how to “make the invisible sensitive”, translating anguish into wonder. A celebration of the power of silence, an antidote to the clamour of contemporary languages.
