Landscape photography as spiritual journey.
EXHIBIT
In this exhibition Marco Paoli presents large black and white photographs from his collection Silenzio (Silence) and from his forthcoming monograph Ethiopia.
The works take as raw material the artist’s travel experiences around the world. Travel and place, however, are not to be taken literally.
They are metaphors for an artistic exploration around the concepts of silence, memory, emotion and inner journey.
” Photography is a slice of time and in the moment I shoot a photo I am living in the present but I am also aware that I am creating a memory ”
Susan Behrends Frank, Phillips Collection, will participate and comment on Marco Paoli’s techniques and works. The event will also include the screening of the video Marco Paolo Photography by Marco Paoli and Maurizio Montagni (2014, 6 min 36 sec).
This event is part of “An Insipiring Voyage”, a series of events organized by the Istituto to propose a fascinating journey through the Italian culture.
