Description
Book SynopsisRenowned photographer Vincenzo Pietropaolo presents a moving photographic chronicle—a celebration—filled with more than one hundred dynamic images and thirty evocative stories of people with intellectual disabilities, those who may have been born with Down syndrome, autism, or who are "otherwise abled."
Trade Review"This is a very special book indeed. Poignant, powerful and heart rending to say the least, Vincenzo Pietropaolo has through his photographs and short evocative stories that accompany them, made visible the too often invisible lives of individuals who are born with intellectual disabilities." * Metapsychology *
"
Invisible No More is special for its blend of Pietropaolo techniques-from straightforward news photography to painterly evocations-and for the perceptual ruse it plays on its readers." * Toronto Star *
