“In the early 1970s, during a visit to Rome on a cold, rainy winter day… I didn’t get any good photos—I was using a wide-angle lens?! Except for two or three in Pompeii, silent and empty under the wonderful rain… Later, in 1979, having finally grasped the subtle power of mm, coming from the high plateaus of Taos, New Mexico, where I lived, I met up with Claude Nori in Rome, and there, it was a visual shock: is it the fact of living in the desert that makes this city fascinate me in comparison? Let’s say that images of the American West are often horizontal, while those of Rome’s streets are often vertical?! And I’m also deeply influenced by Corot’s Roman works, which I think about so often when I’m there... Corot, who left an indelible mark on me with his restraint.” - Bernard Plossu
