SECONDA PORTA DELL'ANIMA
Michèle Mettler
2017
Synopsis:
This is a photobook about acupuncture. The needles draw acupoints and these are joined together as constellations on the body: each point of raid is a contact with the soul.
The title means “second door of soul”: this is the translation of a real ancient Chinese acupoint.
