The project Life Above All is hinged on the comparison by sixteen poetries, drawn from the Anthology of Spoon River of Edgar Lee Masters translated in Italian by Fernanda Pivano edited in Italy for the first time by Einaudi in 1943 - and the twenty-five Monica Silva's prints. The result of this project, comes from the photographer's artistic demand, that of giving a body and a face "“ also psychological "“ to those of human sections that have populated Masters infancy in an american province of the mid-West in the begining of XX century. The project reminds the first daguerreotypes of the second halves the eight hundred, when the still photography had the tendency to imitate painting as some portraits belonged to the modern pictorial tradition. These shots are characterized by the use of colors of strong emotional impact that underline the intimate soul of the captured character, set in eloquent environments, simple and at the same time rich of details as in a refined game of joint in which everything is equally essential. Life Above All is a project by the brazilian photographer Monica Silva who personally inspired to The Antology of Spoon River from the American author Edgar Lee Masters.
