Carlo Benvenuto's Ambiguous Photographs at MART Rovereto

The MART in Rovereto is hosting a solo exhibition of Carlo Benvenuto (born 1966 in Stresa, lives in Milan), featuring his photographs that defy easy categorization. Benvenuto's works are not purely pictorial nor Morandian, though they engage with metaphysical objects. The exhibition includes works by Morandi, Guttuso, and de Chirico chosen by the artist. Benvenuto's subjects include a mirror on a table, a floating glass, and musical instruments in precarious balance. The show is organized by subtle variations across rooms, culminating in an unconventional self-portrait room where the artist appears only in a small painting. Benvenuto also works in sculpture and painting. His analog photographs, shot with a view camera, create a tactile ambiguity that questions reality and perception. The exhibition emphasizes relationships between objects over realism.
