OPENING 24 MAY 2018, 7 - 9 PM
25 MAY - 12 OCTOBER 2018
Marsèlleria, Milan
On May 24th Marsèll launches, inside the space of Marsèlleria Permanent Exhibition in via Paullo 12/A in Milan, the first episode of a series of photographic exhibitions.
The debut show has as its protagonists the images conceived by Marco Pietracupa, presenting for the first time a series of big sized photo collages next to snapshots took with a smartphone.
The composition of big and small sizes, prints on glossy and mat paper, framed pictures and images roughly hung on the wall come from a reflection on the state of the art of the photographic means in the realm of contemporary life. The collages, created by the artist through a minimal gesture starting from deconstruction and reconstruction of his shots, give to the image a different meaning, breaking and magnifying the classical limits of photography; to these images are counterposed small framed prints of pics captured through the lenses of a smartphone, now a common gesture for everyone, inside a society narrating and relating itself mostly through snapshots; for the artist these are visual notes, quick visions, maybe the prelude to more structured projects.
The exhibition, on show until October 12th, 2018, hosts, during the opening night, an interpretative reading by actress and performer Irene Di Dio who reads a poetic text by writer Valentina Diana, which drew inspiration from the photographer’s images.
