Detriti di spiagge in bianco e nero, duplicazioni formato collage di gambe e braccia che sovrapposti creano un effetto straniante, orizzonti sfocati, frammenti di pelle sotto la lente di ingrandimento. Sfogliando le pagine di I Wash You Dry, il secondo libro della fotografa e stylist che vive a New York Katie Burnettsi ha l’impressione che il corpo sia tutt’uno con il paesaggio surreale, epurato da ogni colore...
