Still Lives: Snapshots from Sensorium 2014

Fausto Giaccone’s job as a photojournalist took him to Colombia for the first time, when he turned to Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude as a virtual guide. “In that book, I found everything. Not only the best contemporary Colombian literature, but also its topography, its history, its traditions and its pain, its light and its shadows,” writes Giaccone. His travels through the places in Marquez’s novels and his life led to Macondo: The World of Gabriel García Márquez
