Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza

Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza

Curators: Paolo Barbaro, Cristina Casero, Claudia Cavatorta

 

The exhibition Figure contro. Fotografia della differenza is made of artworks from the CSAC archives, documents the role that photography, especially in the Seventies, has had in raising awareness around hidden, forgotten, sometimes censored issues.

 

The figures against depicted in these shots are people literally pushed to the margins from the society, because their own existence is in contrast with the logic prevailing in the modern world; in other cases, they are figures that contrast, manifest, do not resign themselves, affirming an alternative model. But figures against are also those of the authors of these images. Aldo Vito Bonasia, Giordano Bonora, Anna Candiani, Carla Cerati, Mario Cresci, Uliano Lucas, Paola Mattioli and Giuseppe Morandi.

 

Each according to their sensitivity and their language have contributed to transform photography into a critical tool but also an instrument of reflection, useful to inform about what Italian society was during the economic booming.
