The exhibition ‹‹No Place like Home›› presents, in its first major overview, the development of the medium of photography since the 1980s in Italy, deliberately focusing on the Italian perspective of its own country.
Through a selection of 42 photographers the exhibition aims to showcase how Italy, emerging from the post-war economic boom, has found a credible photographic representation since the 1980s. It addresses the cultural and artistic tensions of each decade and demonstrates how Italian photography gradually stepped out of the shadow of established art and became autonomous, without forgetting its cultural heritage.
In addition to internationally renowned and style-defining photographers of the 1980s, such as Guido Guidi, Gabriele Basilico, and Luigi Ghirri, the exhibition also focusses on the culturally and artistically important era of the 1990s and early 2000s, as well as the generation of young authors from the last 20 years.
For the first time, a period is examined in which photography distances itself from traditional reportage and asserts itself as a distinct European perspective on the medium of photography.
