"Wow, very informative and captivating. About Stephen Shore's journey to Luzzara in Italy in 1993, and of Paul Strand's work from decades prior, His insights in this conversation were invaluable, and Clément Chéroux's thoughtful questions brought out the depth of his work. Thanks to both of them for sharing this wonderful discussion!"

I searched for a review of, or conversation about, Luzzara, because I just received the book, and was questioning what its intent was. The wider streetscape photographs are unmistakently Shore; there are a couple of images which remind me of Cartier-Bresson, and the few portraits peppered throughout, are, I felt, an interruption. I wasn't sure what he was doing with them, given that there is no text, no names, not even locations noted. I felt: either more, or none. After all this isn't reportage; it isn't "the people of Luzzara," nor is it a road trip. It is rooted in this one village, one supposes. I'd have to see Strand's book to perhaps understand what Shore was up to. This is a good interview, and does add to my understanding of the book and of Shore's approach.
