Eye and I

Robert Polidori is known for his large format photographs of habitats and rooms saturated with the traces of human intervention. In Eye and I, he turns the lens around to reveal the portraits of people he has encountered in his work of more than years photographing around the world, particularly in the Middle East and India. These instantaneous portraits of mutual recognition reveal the photographed subject and the photographer intersecting with each other in a fleeting moment of mutual regard.
