Description

In Winter Stories, photographer Paolo Ventura reconstructs the memories of a fictional old circus performer. Unique in style and vision, Ventura captures surreal glimpses of everyday life in this evocative setting. Whimsical, romantic, and somewhat noir, Ventura’s photographs encourage viewers to chase a reality that is not entirely of this world. Aperture is pleased to offer Winter Stories in a deluxe limited-edition box set accompanied by the print Last Show. Each book in the set also has a unique tipped-in drawing by the artist.
