The art of diptychs

Apr 09, 2017 - Alessandro Bo

There is always one name that pops into my mind when I hear the word diptych. That name is Alex Dorfsman. Few years ago, I assisted a conference where this amazing human being was talking about his work. Although it was not the first time that I saw photographs dialogue with each other, it was the first time that something spoke to me, opening a whole new universe of possibilities within this confined medium. In a way, it can be said that I immediately identified with the simple, yet complex language he was trying to express. Years later, I got the chance to know him better and we became friends. It is during the last couple of years that I realized how true his images are related to his wonder and curiosity about life.
