GIO BLONDE

Saints Daemons, captured by an Italian analogue photographer, Gio Blonde.

“I believe I glimpsed under the sun splendors that eclipse the sun and the very lights of the saints, when each figure was transformed into the icon of an exasperated paradise…, and mysterious glimmers rose in the flame. Then the heart competed with the objectlessness of the infinite, the delight of a divine solitude surpassed the absence of limits of divinity…” (E. Cioran, Divagazioni)
My mother repeated to me like a fable “The Myth of Er” by Platone, that before being born the soul of each of us chooses a design that we will then live on earth, and receives a sort of guide/companion, a daimon, who it is unique to each of us. But once we are born we forget all this and believe we came away empty. It is the daimon who reminds us of the content of our image, he is therefore the bearer of our destiny.”
