Guido Guidi, Carlo Scarpa. Tomba Brion
curated by Guido Guidi

The exhibition presents more than a hundred large sized pictures, achived by the photographer in over ten years of work, dedicated to the reading of Tomba Brion, designed by Carlo Scarpa, “trying to enter the mental process of the architect” (G. Guidi). The great master's artwork becomes a place in which photography finds a synthesis towards the creation of precise spatio-temporal sequences. The peculiarity of the place, that combines in a single work nature and architecture, suggests to Guidi new photographic experimentations, on the wake of the ones already started by the end of the 60s. Repetition, insistence, careful observation, compose, like a ritual, the transcription of a cultured photographic writing.

Miroslav Tichỷ, Miroslav Tichỷ, Retrospettiva
curated by Enrica Viganò / Admira, Milano

The obsessive and mechanic watch of the photographer builds the narration, which comes from the daily experience in Kyjov, his birth place. The use of recycling photographic equipment allows Tichỷ to portrait a feminine universe handing us fragile and sincere images. The author’s imaginary world idealization is expressed through the thousands of shoots, that keep layering in order to realize a chapter of a unique photographic history.

Michael Wolf, Tokyo compression
curated by Stefania Rössl, Massimo Sordi

The passengers of the Tokyo subway, tight over the windows, becomes protagonist of the images taken by Michael Wolf. The crowd of people which characterize the contemporary society of a megacity like Tokyo is sectioned in a series of fragments, personal short stories that together find their identification as part of the same large crowd. Here the portrait faces are caught during rare moments of peace, in a sort of “purgatory” between domestic tension and workplace stress”. The protagonists are lost in meditation, escape their daily condition and the pain of their expressions seems quite to announce, silently, a disaster which is going to happen.

Taj Forer, Stone by stone
curated by Stefania Rössl, Massimo Sordi

A careful photographer’s watch is able to see the different expressions of nature and to capture the essence of its slivers, revealing the representation of small and touchable universes. Every single image represents a portion of nature that recall, clearly, the complex universality of a system to which everybody belong. The tight relationship between man and nature is evident in the exhibition’s pictures, it seems to bring about a bigger awareness of the nature element in the process of creation of a collective consciousness.

Vari luoghi della città di Savignano

Bernhard Fuchs, Roads and Paths
curated by Stefania Rössl, Massimo Sordi

The exhibition’s series of pictures is the result of the author’s exploration made in Austria between 2004 and 2007. Fuchs’ landscape sections recollect with intensity the intimate and familiar relationships of his own lands. The judgment less images of this places allow us to cross the temporal dimension in order to get into the core and deep interiority of being.

Stefano Giogli, L’unico ad essere diverso eri tu
SI Fest/Portfolio 2010 Award-Winner

"This work – according to Stefano Giogli – started as a challenge. I wanted to debunk the negative view that adults often have of teenagers as disinterested, all alike, without dreams or expectations. This is not true."
This is the jury’s opinion: "For the fresh and original way the author treated the theme of adolescence. In his work series, the Giogli’s ability to describe boys’ personality in their context is surprising".
