Camera Torino Opens Gruyaert Retrospective and Jeker Graphic Design Show

Gruyaert's show is his first major retrospective in Italy, featuring his bold, aggressive color photography, influenced by American photographers like Saul Leiter and William Eggleston. The chronological exhibition begins with 'TV Shots' (1972, London) and includes series on Morocco, Egypt, India, Spain, Turkey, and post-communist Russia, as well as 'Litorali' and 'Aeroporti'.
