Paolo Roversi's 'Doubts' Exhibition at Fundación MOP in A Coruña

Paolo Roversi, born in 1947 in Ravenna, Italy, is the subject of a summer exhibition titled 'Doubts' at the Fundación MOP in A Coruña, Spain. The show runs from June 20 to September 20, 2026, and spans his career, featuring both iconic and unpublished works, many shot with his beloved Polaroid 8x10. The exhibition is divided into nine sections: Theatre, Appearances, Shadows, Doubts, People, Presence, Grace, Beauty, and Fading, forming a continuous frieze that reflects his embrace of doubt and investigation. Roversi's first photograph was taken as a child in Seville, Spain, capturing a man in black against a white wall, titled 'Sol y sombra.' His work, characterized by blur, saturation, and chiaroscuro, often blurs the line between photography and painting. He has worked for major fashion houses like Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Valentino, and his images have appeared in Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Vogue. The exhibition includes anonymous portraits alongside celebrities, some taken in street photo booths. Roversi's process is slow and contemplative, using darkness and flashlights to create emotional weight.
