Gypsies: Free Spirits of the Open Steppe Vincenzo pagliuca and Seliger captures that spirit

and Seliger captures that spirit in every photograph

and objects that were hastily made in a rush for attention

the book tells the history of these "great travellers" and interrogates the connection with our roots

and what absurdities do they evoke from us
