Nowhere Land: Photography as Landscape Invention at Galleria Vik Milano

Curated by Alessandro Riva, the exhibition 'Nowhere Land. The Imaginary Landscape of Photography' at Galleria Vik Milano explores landscape photography not as a genre but as a conceptual device. The show features works by Gabriele Basilico, George Tatge, Lucio Gelsi, Luca Gilli, Federica Palmarin, Teresa Emanuele, Anna Muzi, Santi Caleca, Olga Mai, Antonio De Luca, and Uliano Lucas. Basilico's urban views transcend documentation to evoke suspended time; Tatge's images approach metaphysics; Gelsi turns New York into a cinematic set; Gilli's Icelandic series 'Absolute Landscape' presents nature as primordial; Palmarin reduces Mauritius to light and color; Emanuele uses reflections to challenge vision; Muzi creates impossible geographies through collage; Caleca photographs architectural models by Ettore Sottsass and Johanna Grawunder; Mai presents small images in antique frames; De Luca distills nature into rhythm and form; Lucas documents post-war Italy as social landscape. The exhibition argues that photography interprets and invents rather than records reality.
