How do I imagine being there?

 

8 May – 16 October 2016

 

What language should be used to describe a place? This is the core question of Claudia Losi’s peculiar travel chronicle, that springs out of a real “crossing” of St. Kilda islands, moves onto the construction of new maps and artifacts (including photographs) that constitutes mnemonic sedimentation of the landscape.

So near, so far

 

8 May – 31 July 2016

 

Simonazzi’s pictures tell us how what is extraneous, the other, is merging with the domestic, the everyday life in the province, often with a rural flavour; they do not portray kitsch postures, but rather bringing a smile on one’s lips for their intrinsic, naive spontaneity.

Linea di confine per la fotografia contemporanea

Along the road. Photographs on State Road 9

 

7 May- 10 July 2016

 

What settled in the critical discourse as photography “of the ordinary landscape” has primarily been for Guidi photography of the road, of the roadside, of what you see when you stop at the edge of the landscape, with one foot on the pavement and the other in that uncertain grass which is the frayed edge of the countryside.
