CRIMES OF PASSION DO NOT EXIST

The photographic work, “I would like you to see me” by Arianna Sanesi, in 2015, on femicide in Italy, when this term was virtually unknown and the phenomenon was largely ignored by the media, is the starting point of this book and of the encounter between the photographs by Arianna and the text by historians Lydie Bodiou and Frédéric Chauvaud. Their dialogue creates essential insight for anyone who wants to understand how the words and images offer new perspectives on one of the problems the most important of our time: femicide and domestic violence.
