Chora: Sicily, Apart

These images attend to Sicily as chora: not as subject, not as spectacle, but as the ground in which a particular kind of life persists. The towns here are neither ruins nor destinations. They are inhabited, quietly, by people and light and stone that have outlasted the reasons for their arrangement. History has passed through them and left its sediment without leaving its energy.
