Art/Literary - Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) / Preface to a photography book on drug trafficking
Italian term or phrase: mostrare la ferita
Ma quando si decide di andare a fondo, di mostrare la ferita, si chiede a chi entra nel tuo mondo di mettere da parte per quelle ore le proprie categorie di giudizio.

If this is an idiom I haven't come across it... Thanks.
