Hotel People

by Thierry Bouët, Pino Cacucci (Foreword)

Smithsonian Institution Press is pleased to join Motta Fotografia, one of Europe's foremost publishers of photography, in presenting a series showcasing the work of postwar masters. Each book includes more than forty duotone or color images and represents an original approach to a particular theme by one of the century's finest documentary or fine-art photographers.Taken between 1990 and 1993, these arresting, amusing portraits illuminate the quirky ways that both guests and staff settle into the expanses of luxury hotels, working, playing, and resting in an atmosphere of reliable impermanence.

io e te. chissà qualcuno
ci avrà pure presentati.
e abbiamo, usato un taxi
più un telefono più una piazza.
io e te. scaraventati
dall'amore in una stanza,
mentre tutt'intorno è
pioggia pioggia pioggia
e fran/cia.
