This tale is narrated by a photographer whose interest in light leads her not only into scientific enquiry but also into a world where personal history, political history, myths and science are all revealed.
Born in New York after the Great War, she goes to Europe in the thirties and earns her living as a photographer. She photographs the world at peace and at war; she photographs buildings and bridges, the natural world and domestic portraits. Obsessed by light and its nature she eventually takes great risks while photographing the violence of the natural world. She has experienced not only love, war and the wonders of the natural world but comes to the conclusion that photographs show a parallel reality. There is no past, no present, no future, just a series of eternal moments that give the impression of motion and time passing. And meeting death in a thunderstorm is part of that revelation.
