Abisso – Nico Maria Moscatelli

For a month, Nico Maria studied and photographed the great landslide that shook the cliff of San Leo in 2014, in search of images that could translate the drama of the experiences described by the 13th century mystics. These became the aniconic way of representing a group of fourteen 'Mystics of the Rock' that the artist is particularly fond of. Some are saints, others heretics, one is an anarchist, of some we know the life, of others not even their real name, some died in glory, others at the stake. This book is a reflection on their fate and the possibility that the experience of the mystical union of the world has of changing ours.
