Fotofanie. 109 Fotografie di Italo Zannier
Curated by Andrea Tomasetig
Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano hosts the exhibition of never seen before works by Italo Zannier, considered by many the patriarch of Italian photography.
The exhibition, curated by Andrea Tomasetig, was born out of thousands of photo-shots ñ called by Zannier ìfotofanieî, apparitions – taken during a three-year period, 2014-2017, which were preserved in the memory of his Sony compact camera, and from which only 400 made it to print on a single large sized signed copy.
Among these, 109 works are presented for the first time, divided into nine sections that represent the most interesting subjects of Zannierís artistic view.
The exhibition is promoted by the Department of Culture of the Council of Milan and made possible by the Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, in cooperation with Municipio 3, the Boschi Di Stefano Foundation, and is open thanks to the volunteers of Touring Club Italiano. The works, which come from the Pietro Valsecchi collection, are set thanks to the original lay-out by Cristiana Vannini.
A catalogue is published for the exhibition, with texts by Maria Fratelli, Italo Zannier, Andrea Tomasetig, Stefano Salis and Silvia Paoli, and graphic design by Leo Guerra.
