Archival Prints: A Cagliari Exhibition Blending War and Peace Through Photography
In Cagliari, the exhibition "Archival Prints" brings together photographs from world-renowned artists and local talents, juxtaposing conflict and daily life. Works by Nobuyoshi Araki, Alberto Burri (portraying Henri Matisse and Che Guevara), Robert Capa (D-Day), and David Hurn (The Beatles at Abbey Road) are displayed alongside images by Nocera, Castelnuovo, Picciau, Chiai, and Porcu. War photography by Capa and Don McCullin contrasts with contemporary conflict imagery from Rula Halawani (recent Venice Biennale participant, Hebron reportage), Micalizzi (Gaza), and Loris Savino (Arab Spring). In counterpoint, scenes of everyday life in New York, Las Vegas, and the small Sardinian town of Baunei (elderly in summer shade) offer respite. The exhibition is a collection of images documenting stories and moments that have become symbols of our time.
